^^^ I agree ^^^

Six months ago I contacted LN regarding their ceramic dual row bearing which has been installed in my 2001 S since 2010 (I must have been one of the first to have an IMS bearing retrofitted here in Australia).
The LN bearing has now been in service for nearly 7 years and 35,000km, so the timeframe that LN recommend for replacement is up. When I contacted LN, Charles sent me an email back saying that if I removed the old bearing & sent it back to him for analysis, he would supply me with a new bearing assembly FREE of charge - what service that is....
Its a pity that I'm in the middle of a kitchen / bathroom renovation at the moment so I'm not in the financial / time frame to replace the bearing until later this year, but Charles generosity is outstanding.
I agree totally with Mike Focke and personally I wouldn't use any other IMS upgrade other than what Navarro & Raby have engineered and marketed - they are the standard by which all others are judged.
