Sorry to hear. Engine rebuild or replacement with a used unit are the only options. Being that you are in the UK aren't there local Porsche specialist there that can help?

I've been on this forum for a couple years now and as much talk as their use to be on this issue I just don't see alot of forum members talking about this happening to their car. Is it that a significant number of the members replaced their IMS bearing significantly reducing the risk or is it that actual failure is pretty low? I replaced mine 2 years ago and I am glad that I did.
