3 more IMS reports

If you cannot hand the car to a Luddite and have them drive it without a long list of do's and don'ts then you have not solved the IMS problem, you are simply swapping parts. It is a fairly straightforward concept.

Some will kiss the arse of the IMS sellers and some will not. But in truth the ceramic bearings will meet the same fate as the factory bearings. It will just take longer. The problem is not fixed and therefore it is pish posh to think you are doing the lords work by swapping cheap bearings for pricey ones.

That is my point.

Vehicles, like forums can not be made foolproof. On time & preventative maintenance usually pays off & I am confident the LN IMS bearing is the best it can be for the inherent weakness of the original design. Thankfully we have options.

But then you can say that about any part subject to friction. It will eventually wear and fail. I don't know of an engine in any car that is not subject to eventual mortality. When I look back to the cars I've owned over the last 52 years, the engines failed at a higher rate than that I perceive the M96 to be failing (on average).
