CTS- V - maintenance/shop recommendation in London

[txmetabaron]

Gents,
As title states,I just imported my CTS-V from the US upon relocation.
Just realized Caddy left the UK market,so what are my better options to get my LS6 engine maintained in the London area?

Thanks!

Who cares, let's see some pics. Service it yourself, man, it's not hard.

To answer the question, Ian goss, stratstone on cornfield rd Wavendon, or Adrian (aka vettetechnician on Ph) in bedford. These are the three closest to you that have experience of the cts and ls engines. Adrian is perhaps the only one in the uk who might have worked on a cts-v, when stratstone had the euro demonstrator over.

If I ever sell my Mustang, I might force you to sell it to me. I have only ever seen one CTS-V in the classifieds and that was a long time ago so it's pretty unique and I do love them.

Ive seen one of the new blown ones with the LSA engine on PH.

The LS6 caddy probably isnt much different to the Holdens around the place. Same running gear anyway.

But yeah. Id service myself and go with one of the above for maintenance or look at one of the Holden service crowd like Monkfish. Though they are up J14 of the M1.

If you run your car up the strip from time to time mate, call by the holden/hsv forum on here. GM 4 Door Sedan's with RWD V8's hang out there too

This is the last gen with the C5 Z06 engine and 400hp.

Yeah I know mate. It will still be RWD and T56 trans though. Dont forget the Holdens have been sold here since 2000. So the LS1 with LS6 intake VX model and the GTS are very similar in drivetrain.

Hi were you the guy I met at petrol station the other night when we came from the shuttle? If so did you try Ian Goss services as he can deal with all the service work and lights and also get your car registered for the UK.

Hi All,
been a long time and did not get the replies forwarded to my email sorry!
In all cases,it's good to see a few enthusiasts around here for the LS6 block.

@last post: I'm going to have it registered at Ian Goss indeed,am the same guy you met!
Just took me a while to get and decide to put a license plate on the front and spoil the V face
