IMS and Clutch help in the UK (Essex) - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Hi All,
I used to be happy with my 2002 S but i am now one of those who is paranoid and hardly sleeps becuase of the Roulette Wheel spinning behind my driver's seat. The car has 74k on the clock and has been serviced every year without fail - a total of 11 stamps in book! I have phoned the Porsche service agent who confirms that the car developed an RMS leak in 2005 (25k on the clock) and that the RMS and IMS were both replaced under warranty.
The car has since covered 50k but now i think i want to upgrade to the LNE kit.
Where in the UK can i get the kit or do i have to buy and ship from pelican?
Do i need to but the extraction tool as well?
In for a penny in for a pound, i may as well do the clutch. Where is the best place to get one in the UK and what do i need? An entire 'clutch kit'?
My indy was saying something about replacing the flywheel as part of the job?
I have set aside 2k (GBP) to do the job and i'm being quoted 10 hours labour. Will this be enough?

All help will be greatly appreciated on this topic which takes up more space than anything else on the great forum

You need the extraction kit (all of it), the job cannot be done without it.

I bought my 2001 Boxster base 40k miles, now 50k miles a year and a half ago.
The PPI stated minor rms leak/mist. I have done nothing about it and see no oil on the garage floor. I have had installed the IMS Guardian and don't worry about too much of anything. Each person has to make their own decision as each person has their own comfort level.Hope this helps!
