Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination.

Going to take the plunge and get the IMS bearing replaced,,
Can anyone recommend first hand a specialist in Essex/Suffolk..if so what was your experience and also the cost?
Had my preventative IMS changed at Autostrasse in Goggeshall. Speak to ken or Alan. Very pleased with the work. C4S 2003. Had the AOS done at the same time. Great guys.
I can't speak too highly of Alan and his team down at Autostrasse.
This year's minor service and MOT actually cost less than it did last year.
I booked it in with a request that they have a go at tracking down the parasitic battery drain which has caused me a bit of bother over the past months (which I'd temporarily resolved by being sure to run Ted every day or swap the battery out and recharge it on the bench) - I feared I'd written them a licence to print money.
MOT passed with two orange bulbs renenwed, parasitic drain found and resolved at their expense.
I drove down to collect Ted the following morning, a run of about an hour plus or minus traffic. It puts me out of my way. I drive straight past another Porsche Indie, the one with oodles of classic air-cooleds in stock. I know that OPC Cambridge would collect and return my car from my home.
And yet I choose to drive down to Autostrasse at Coggeshall, why?
Well the last thing I want to do is imply any criticism of anywhere else, that certainly isn't my intention.
I trust Alan and his team at Autostrasse.
I'm made to feel like a valued customer, not just some daft bloke with a precious toy and a chequebook or worse still, like some old twit with neither an air-cooled classic or a lease agreement 991..
I like the feeling that because they see Ted for whatever needs doing, they're building up a picture of the car: there's never any scope for pointing and asking "Who did this to your car?"
When I ask what should I worry about over the coming months and miles I get a shake of the head and the reply "nothing at all".
I admit to worrying about the mufflers, are they about to leave the car in an explosion of rust? Again just a shake of the head and "no they're fine".
Yep, I'll keep going back. Thanks Alan and guys.
