Hi,
I am new to this website, just owned a 2003 LX 470 last month. I searched forums but could not find the exact problem. Brakes are really in bad condition and last week I started hearing a grinding noise from rear brakes.
I was going to replace all 4 braked tomorrow but this morning when I was about to take it for a short ride. I drove few yards, all of sudden ABS light turned on and beep started. Braked failed all of sudden. I parked it back in my parking lot. I checked there is no oil left in the reservoir and I can see oil spilled from right side rear wheel. I am not very handy. what could be the problem, can it be brake line or caliper jammed due to bad brake pads ?
Now should I fill the reservoir first before putting new brakes and then start the vehicle. I have a mobile mechanic coming to change brake pads and rotors tomorrow but I can't stop thinking about what has gone wrong. Thank you for replies.
