Just been reading thru a few of the posts on here......... frightening stuff, its a shame we only come on these forums when something goes wrong and we look for help whilst running our vehicles down, reminds me of when i owned a Frontera same thing happened on that forum also and yet i owned two of them and had no problems with either of them thou i used the forum to gain other peoples knowledge and experience on things like adjusting handbrakes, changing disc's, headlight adjustment and so on....now i own a 2005 sedona, 52k and i love it, im sure im not the only person on here that feels the same way....ok its noisey, parts are dear, there aint a workshop manual (haynes) the handbrakes cr*p..........btw not sure if you know this but before you pull the handbrake on push and hold your foot down on the foot brake, makes a big difference and i find it will hold even with a 1700kg caravan on the back and loaded to the max, and im about to change the aux belts and if i can i will do a report with photo's so it will help anyone else who is going to tackle this job this is what the forum should be for, so come on guys n girls lets hear some positive things about the Sedona and help each other out when we have problems. I have also changed the front pads and disc's and fitted reversing sensers and a tow bar so if i can help anyone out in those areas drop me a line. Regards Steve
