This thing is finally showing signs of a failing brake actuator, one of the most common (and most expensive) fixes to an LS. Even at my cost, looking at at least $1,000 to have it repaired or replaced. Just hit 150,000km, but we've seen these actuators fail at as little as 80,000km too. Serious design flaw here.
If I opt to have it repaired, downtime will be a couple weeks as I have to pull the part and ship it to a supplier down south. Replacing it altogether might be an option, but have to shop around for pricing.
