Which IMS bearing upgrade

hi all,

Having the clutch and rms seal replaced in a couple of weeks so I'm also looking into having the IMS upgraded. It seems I have 2 real options:

The eternal fix which uses a roller bearing
The Ln engineering upgrade

My main problem is I have no idea wether I have a single row or double row bearing?
My car was first registered in January 2001 so the engine would have most likely been built in 2000. Seems to be the cross over point?

With the eternal fix, it states that it is suitable for both the double and single row bearings. The Ln upgrade on the other hand will require a lot of labour getting to the bearing to establish which version I have to order.

Is this correct?

Would this mean if I went with the Ln upgrade, I would have to pay to have the current bearing identified, then pay again to actually have it installed?

Thanks
Darkly
