So… I got a fuel tank and pump complete off a 99 WH Caprice. After removing tank and setting up the caprice tank to fit into my car (2002 VX Calais) turns out the plugs are different. LS1 by the way, I thought they were all the same maybe not VY/VZ but yeah if anyone can confirm if the plugs are...
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 just bought a wk with 230 on the clock, did a full oil and trans service as soon as I got it and also replaced the oil pressure switch as it was causing the check engine light to stay on, reset the error codes and took it for a drive everything was sweet until I took it to work the next day...
I am just curious is the exhaust system in the wn2’s the same as the V6 VF2 commos. As it looks the exact same as my mums VF2 V6 Calais and what’s on VF2 SV6 Utes. Like it’s that quite it’s a joke. So I feel as tho it’s a V6 system. Does anyone know the answer as the wn2 didn’t get bimodel and...
Hey guys,
I need your help to let me know what to fill in each one,

Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I recently changed cars. Went from 2001 Crown Vic to '08 Chevy Caprice Royale 6.0L. I want to ask about the best engine oil and oil filter for it, as there are almost zero videos for it on Youtube or related info online
It has only 80k KM on the odometer
The car manual says that I...

I have a 2008 Caprice with 2 climate zones. It's very hot where I live and I feel like the rear doesn't get enough cold air at all. Is there any way I can mod the system to have another zone? I am aware that some of the Caprice has 3 climate zones.
I have a 2008 Caprice and the battery dies after a day or two of not being started. I changed the battery and the same thing occurs. Something is draining the battery. Any ideas?

Hi all!
Looking to change out the suspension in my '08 Caprice V8, previous owner had lowered the vehicle to the point where the front suspension bangs every time it goes over a slight bump (It sucks!)
Looking for suggestions on what to get, I would like to keep it lowered, and am currently...

On my V8 Wm caprice I'm wanting to check my charcoal filter as fuel doesn't flow smoothly into the tank, the fuel Bowser's always click off each dollar or 2. I've checked the fuel breather hose and cleared it out (the one connected to the fuel filler neck to the tank). Still does it though. No...
Hi my rear speakers in my holden 2009 caprice aren’t working the front works fine, the fader doesn’t let me adjust either, I have a new battery so it’s not that, there is another thread about this without much information so any help will be good thanks.

I have always loved the old Statesman’s and Caprices.

Hi All,
I have a 2013 Chevrolet Caprice which I think would be considered a VE S2 Caprice or "WM"?
Anyway from what I can tell they fitted the car with the Ute version of the silver faced Holden IQ for 2013 model year only. The unit itself doesn't have wiring internally to run anything but...
G'day ladies and gents,
Wanting to get a trans cooler for my 2003 WK Caprice with the LS1 - now I've got the PWR trans oil cooler in mind, but I've noticed some talk about towing packages for holdens of this model, and what they came with, along with a heap of confusion.
my WK appears to have...
Hey all
Ok, so, just picked up a wn cappy v and its basically gone straight on the hoist for a host of upgrades, but, i don't (and i don't think anyone does) like the front ends.
So that brings me to my question, vf front end swap?
To my knowledge the front frame is identical back to 2006...
Hey guys I'm new here,

I've looked around for this question and peoples opinions, but I haven't been able to find anything. So, I thought I'd make it myself!
What was your favourite Model of Statesman / Caprice?
I'd have to say mine would be the WK / WL.
I reckon it had a whole lot more class than anything from the...
G'day to you all.
I've recently purchased a 2003 WK Caprice with 233,000ks on the clock.
Ran like a gem, no odd sounds.
Took it to my local mechanic, good reliable guy, stated that the Diff Pinion Seal was leaking -and to get it sorted "sooner rather than later"
The week after, I made the...
