    Holden Rodeo: Needs a new engine
    Answered by Graham Smith · 9 May 2012

    If the engine were reconditioned by a reputable engine reconditioning company and they gave you a guarantee with it you can be confident that it will last a long time. How long is impossible to say. There would be little difference between the exchange reconditioned engine and the one done by your mechanic. Either way you should check on what they are going to do the engine in the reconditioning process, so you can be confident that it is done professionally and properly.

    Holden Rodeo: Knocking engine
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 11 April 2011

    Everything has a statutory guarantee with it that covers the goods as sold. That you installed the engine yourself shouldn’t have any bearing on the guarantee, unless it can be shown that you have done something to cause the fault. In your case it would seem that is not the situation and the problem is with the engine as supplied by Holden.

    Holden Rodeo 2008: Converting to LPG?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 23 June 2010

    Holden walked away from dual-fuel in the Rodeo after they fitted the Alloytec V6 engine because it was too complicated for them to fit the LPG-compatible engine on the production line in Thailand, but local converters have been doing the conversion without any problems. Have a reputable brand of LPG system fitted by a competent installer and you shouldn’t have any trouble.
