The Statesman, produced from 1995 to 1997, represents a significant entry in Australia's full-size luxury sedan market. Building upon the Commodore platform, the VS Statesman distinguished itself with an extended wheelbase, offering a more spacious interior and enhanced ride comfort, particularly through its independent rear suspension.

Its design and engineering focused on providing a comfortable and capable executive vehicle, making it a notable competitor in its segment. This comprehensive factory service and repair manual provides essential information for the maintenance and repair of the Statesman VS. It covers a wide array of vehicle systems, including detailed procedures for engine (V6 and V8), transmission (automatic and manual), brakes, suspension, steering, electrical systems, HVAC, fuel, cooling, and exhaust. The manual offers in-depth guidance on preventative maintenance, troubleshooting common issues, and performing complex repairs, supported by technical specifications, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic procedures. This resource is invaluable for owners, mechanics, and technicians aiming to preserve the integrity and performance of their Statesman VS.
