Crazy noise like a bird dying / baby crying is being emmitted from brake booster area.

This goes on and off.

Then after about 15 mins of driving it "flatlines".

Just goes Beeeeeeeeepppppp continuosly and all the lights come up, eg. VSC / ABS / Handbrake etcetc.

Actual brakes? FINE! No loss of pressure / pedal feel etc.

PLEASE HELP! There must be a sneaky trick to fixing this or something?

So far I have...

Bled the brakes twice.

Bought 2nd hand all the electonic brake components etc and replaced all except for the master cylinder.

Have had the electronic reset tool reset the system.

Bled the brakes again. Disconnected the battery to try and reset the faults in the computer. etc.

I am totally at a loss and am going to have to sell the car for a loss if I can't resolve!

Ps. car is a local 1998 and has genuine 42,000klms only!!!

Any advice / contacts / suggestions appreciated. I've had this car off the road for a month trying to fix her!

I had a a similar problem. All the warning lights came on. Screaming sound from the brake system. The Lexus dealer said it was to do with the dot 3 brake fluid. Dot 4?? I think is the replacement. I had a major service and they had used the upgraded dot 4 fluid. This was replaced and problem over. The master cylinder and brake system are in one piece and cost about $5000 to replace....ouch!! I have had no problems since. I know I can buy cheaper parts via my family in Japan....my wife is Japanese.

Is there anyone that can give advise as to if it is posssible to make the TV a and sat navigation work in Australia. We have imported my Japanese wife's Aristo....with all the extras but to date I can only get the FM to work. This is a one owner car having been purchased new in Chiba in 1998. It has never missed a beat other than the brakes doing some weird things. WE also have an RX330 we purchased 2 years ago.
