Coverage and how to read this overview

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. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking at potential 986 Boxster S ownership and struggling to find anyone up here who would be willing to replace the small, single-row IMS bearing. I've phoned SP Autobahn and Motortune but neither are interested. Seems odd to me considering I wouldn't have thought it'd be that much more hassle on top of a clutch change. Any suggestions please?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Found some joy with George Morrison Motors in Glasgow, sounds like he knows his stuff and didn't rush me on the phone. If anyone has any other suggestions or experiences with George then fire away.
