My RRS has 45K mikes, as such it will be coming out of warranty soon . I have started the search for an after market extended warranty. I therefore have a two-part question, first what is the general consensus on the need for extended warranty's. Said another way, should I consider to self insure. Second, has anyone out there purchased one and or who might you recommend.

there is a thread over on Disco3 now about Tesco car warranty, obviously it would be no use to you not been in the UK, but the small print says it would add a extra premium on for 4x4 and prestigious car, so you'll have double increase

I suppose its down to the level of cover you would/wouldn't get, compare with LR Extended and see if the extra cost would be worth it

Tesco warranty......whatever next.........I suppose every little helps when owning a LR  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

5 series for the miles

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!

I received my invite from LR for their extended warranty yesterday - no price though

Just got this from the Disco3 thread

I think it would be easier to say "Nothing is covered"

Quote:

And what exactly do Tesco insure then................................................ Pity as I was considering putting my Maybach on their plan to save a few quid but I see Maybachs are specifically excluded. Risk averse or what! Suppose they only want to fix your car at halfords or Kwik Fit 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

What a crap scheme! It's all personal choice isn't it.... if you look at it that statistically more things are likely to go wrong after the car is 3 yrs old and out of warranty and they might cost you a lot to fund personally. Depends how you feel about risk

I just bought my extended Land Rover warranty....

Basically, it was £895 for the top tier coverage (there are two) a year without Land Rover Assist (I have a family AA membership).
- I think that is quite good value..... 2022 P440e AB

The £895 warranty covers defects to most factory fitted components of the vehicle for mechanical or electrical failure.

IT DOES NOT COVER :-

All service / maintenance operations
Glass
Paintwork / bodywork
Wheels / balancing etc
Air con recharging
Telephone / TV / DVD / Sat Nav
Tyres
Batteries
Bulbs
Exhaust Systems
Water ingress
Strikers and hinges
Wear and tear

Unlimited mileage during the term of the warranty. 2022 P440e AB

funny.....Edwards of Chester offerred me 2 years ( no AA) for just over £500 but as my warranty still have 17months left I guess it's irrelevant, still I wonder if theirs has more exceptions like the engine for example  Silver TD6 HSE 07 07
Firenze Red TDV6 15 65
Portofino Blue TDV6 70 20
Firenze Red P510 72 22

A 7 month warranty for 500.
That's about right..... 2022 P440e AB

I know the warranty is for 3 years however is there a mileage restriction on this ?

60k miles in the UK.

The AA used to do a very reasonable priced good warranty scheme. Don't know if they still do. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone
