THat's not going to happen. That's half what I paid for the car.

I've just looked at a few UK websites and garages like Autofarm do an IMS bearing replacement for £1300.

How does that help my situation? Or was it just an FYI?

£1300 vs $4100. I wondered if it might make sense to transport the car to the UK? I have no idea what the cost of transport might be.

Good luck with this. Many of us live in dread of this happening to us.

Costs would be the same all in all..

Thanks, I would recommend everyone to do the IMS upgrade even though there are no signs of it failing, such as metal particles in the oil. I was luck, mine is dying slowly, others might not be so lucky and it might happen in a snap.

Sorry, what?! Surely shops in the US don't charge $4,000 just to change the IMS bearing.

I can assure you Autofarm is one of the more expensive specialists to have work done in the UK. You can have the LN bearing fitted for about £1,100 - less if you buy the Pelican bearing. I'm sure a plain bearing change can be done for similar money in the US.
