Thanks for your reply. I agree that for peace of mind I would much preferred to have heard that it was replaced but I'm wondering is the fact that it was inspected and found to be OK only 18months ago, can I consider that "addressed"? Basically after 110,000 miles, the original IMS bearing is still OK.
I don't want to lose out on what is a lovely example of this car from being overly concerned about an issue that affected 8% of vehicles. All signs are that the one I'm looking at is one of the other 92% that wasn't affected - am I being too optimistic? :-)
I live in Ireland, and there aren't too many of these cars in the country. So I don't have a whole lot to chose from.
