statesman

I have a 08 Statesman with the stock rear halogen taillights. I like the style of the Genuine LED tails. The aftermarket ones are just ****. I don’t think they are just plug and play. Anyone know how to make them work before I go out and spend some cash on them?

I have a WL 2004 statesman 5.7l v8. After a drive when I park, it gives out a big hiss from the rear suspension. I only recently just bought the car, and it doesn't seem like the previous owner put airbags on it. I have a suspicious whether or not stock Statesman suspension have some air ride...

I’m doing a up a 90 vq statesman series 1, and have recently brought a vr statesman to be a donor for the interior and dash. Has anyone done this conversion, or even just vr-vs to a vn-vp if so is there any pictures? What challenges were there with the dash and wiring loom?

Hi all. New to the forum but been reading it for years and can't find what I need. So my wonderful Statesman decided that it didn't want to start with the tell tale ping of the solenoid. I took out the starter and rebuilt it with a newer solenoid which worked fine. Car started after that, and...

I just bought a WM from the auctions the other day and I'm having some issues with the lighting. The low beam head lights, mirror puddle lights, all four map lights, sunvisor lights and two little instrument cluster screens don't work. DVD player and rain sensor doesn't either. But sunroof and...

Sorry if this is a dumb question…. just got an LS1 wh statesman, and I’m assuming regular pre ve wheels (such as off Vx ect) would fit? But just wanting to double check

Hi guys I just bought a 2000 WH Stato LS1 off these lovely old couple which drives well . Apart from extractors and a cd player it seems standard. My son and I have noticed it already having a reverse light issue which most probably is the inhibitor switch. However, I drove it on Sunday and...

Was wondering if anyone could help me identify my lock nuts? They were removed after the key was lost for them. They're off a vs series 3 statesman 50th anniversary.

So basically what is happening is stupid. The dash says that the door is closed but all of them are closed. I know it’s not the trunk or hood because the car didn’t have that function it’s a 2008 caprice Middle East. So I’m confused on how to know if it’s the entire mechanism/ actuator of the...

Hey guys, I have just recently bought another Statesman. Is the WH V6 S/c. Basically if I accelerate and the rear wheels try to slip, low traction flashes and the car almost cuts it off. If i turn traction control off or unplug abs then it's fine and no issues. Is this normal or have I got an...

If the driver doesn't wear the seatbelt the dash beeps and shows a symbol on the screen and light on the cluster not sure if my car has a defect with the passenger system or...

Stato (99' WH) is being a ****, won't turnover even though I started it literally yesterday, all the lights on the inside are coming on (but turn off when I turn the key to actually start not just accessories) but it will not turn over thinking it may be a fuse or the starter motor, thought it...
