2008 Holden Statesman Service and Repair Manual

Chauffeur-sized space defined the 2008 Holden Statesman, an Australian-market luxury sedan with a wheelbase about 9 cm longer than the VE Commodore's. The WM range continued with the V6, running the high-output 3.6-litre Alloytec, and the V8 with the 6.0-litre engine; from the MY09 update the automatic V8 gained Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. Its twin, the Caprice, shares the body and mechanicals.
