Unhappy Abs Pump Heeeelp

Hi can anyone tell me where i could get a brake booster abs pump just asked the lexus stealers and they said about 2000 pounds as i live in the uk.
The car makes a screaching noise from the abs pump and the vsc and brake warning lights come on with a horrible high pitch alarm can any one help me as i really dont fancy paying 2000 pounds,can you have them reconditioned or has anyone got one for sale my car is 1998 gs300.
