    ABS & Brake failure: 2007 LX470 230k miles need advice

    Awesome, thanks! : I tapped on the brake booster with a wrench-the motor started to pressurize , but didnt hold pressure and the fluid level went back up past the max fill line. Does this mean that I should only replace the accumulator and motor instead of the entire Unit? This would save a...

    LX470 '06 headlight upgrade! Glass/polycarb and LED or HID

    Wow lots to look into here, Red Pill Blue Pill! I noticed also that my lenses on muly 2002 LX Look much better than my current 2006, Same terrible output tho. Of the options you gave, what's the most low impact route to take if I'm a DIY guy, say a one banana job?
