Hi All,

Was wondering if any of you could recommend a workshop manual with good circuit diagrams.

I have a VS SII that I am busy bringing back to life. The new motor is an L67. I gotta wait till I have some more money for a decent exhaust system and a few other upgrades but the basics are there.

I do need a manual that will cover the circuit diagrams for both the VS exec and the Statesman though... to help me bring other good bits over in the swap.

Anybody got the low-down?

I have 3 - Haynes Number 41742 is very basic with poor circuit diagrams...Ellerys EP.CLRS is really all over the place with poor circuit diagrams as well plus they cannot spell...Gregorys Nunber 268 is the best of the bunch with reasonable wiring diagrams and covers the Statesman. As with all wiring diagrams, you need to study them closely to get the hang of how they work and where one diagram ties in with the next...but rocket science it ain't.
Have fun and Good Luck.

I have a VSV6 gregorys workshop manual (no 268) and a haynes manual (no 41742),the wiring diagrams in the haynes manuals are rubbish compared to the gregorys manuals.The haynes manual is for VN to VS V6 and V8 , and some of the pictures they have in it are straight from the gregorys VR- VS manuals.Just shows how cheap the haynes company is.

Hey, bought the Gregory's. It's got all I need in it, cheers. Got it from Supercheap for 42.99, while it's on eBay right now for 60!
