Re: Holden rodeo 3.5l petrol, good or no good?

They guzzle fuel and have a habit of guzzling oil too! Quite common to do big end bearings, I would avoid them unless it was given to me, even then I'd sell it ASAP

Re: Cant get circlip on front axle

Is the hole in the end of the shaft threaded? If there is a hole that's thread get a bolt that fits and put it in and give it a tug while putting the cir clip on. If not u got other problems.

Re: hit a log on side of local track

I've seen a couple of twisted splines from hitting things, if this is the case you won't be able to just straighten the steering wheel cause the lock to lock won't be equal. As for the shake, check wheel balance, bearings and even the swivel hub bearings.

It could be the immobilizer or the earth points for the immobilizer. Not an uncommon fault. Check all the earth points in the engine bay (all the wires from the harness that mount to the body), remove the bolts, make sure that they're making good contact with a metal surface and not paint. Then ...
