Pried the IMS apart with a flathead....
it was completely filled with motor oil, not grease. Don't know what this means for it's lifespan, but I guess it means it's not such bad thing it's replaced now.
The engine has approx 45k miles, with at least the last 25k being pretty hard (driven as intended, high RPMs and hard braking).
