Purchasing an Extended Warranty?

Was thinking about purchasing an extended warranty for my RRS. Has anybody any thoughts/advice/horror stories on this subject? Would appreciate the guidance. Saw this one....not sure...http://www.carprotect.co.uk

I also was thinking about this 6 mths ago and got the car checked over from a indi to see what they thought could be on its way out.

In short, the car was given the thumbs up and did not bother with the extended warranty and have not had anything going wrong with it.

Its really up to you if you need peace of mind

My lr warranty expired recently and I was reluctant to fork out the ammount lr wanted to renew it, after a bit of research I decided to buy a non lr warranty which turned out to be a bit of a nightmare, I ended up getting most of my money back and buying the lr warranty.
If your buying a non lr warranty you have to make sure it will cover the full labour hourly rate of the garage you want to use, the one I bought wouldn't cover any diagnostic costs, which IMO made it unsuitable for this car.

I have never come across an aftermarket warranty that made me think 'that covers virtually everything and at a reasonable price'. Even Warranty Direct which is supposed to be recommended by What Car, they give you a list of parts that are covered and anything not mentioned is not covered. That probably means there are 100's of things that are not covered. I dont know how many individual parts my car consists of. I do know they wouldn't have covered my parking sensors which cost me significantly recently. I would have been furious if after spending nearly a grand on a warranty that they would not cover the cost.

Hi,

all i bought a warranty for my rrs from Kam on here, the warranty is very comprehensive, and very good value for money.

there are some threads on the forum discussing the warranty.

You can only really know how good a warranty is once you have used it.

I think youll find that the warranty you've bought only covers a labour rate of up to sixty pounds, and will not cover the cost of any diagnostic work, which means if you use a land rover main dealer you will always have a bill, probably ok of you use an independent garage that has a lower labour rate.
