Brake Booster Unit

[Hamish]

Just back from Lexus Glasgow who Quoted over £2000.00 to replace the brake booster unit on my six year old GS, (71,000 miles).

Garage were good enough to contact Lexus UK on my behalf but as car is out of warranty I dont hold out mutch hope. In the meantime I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and found a remedy which did'nt involve the spending of 2K. Mutch thanks in anticipation.

A few people have had this problem. Solution so far has been sourcing one from scrap yards.

Interesting ! Just back from the garage hving spent £2000 on new brake booster unit and ABS control unit. CAr is R plate Mk II with 66K on the clock and Lexus view is this is a rare occurance. Not so rare ?

I am just about to get into discussion with Lexus customer service and would be interested in any feedback you got.
