I am buying a 2008 3.6 TDHSE RRS. The manufaturers warranty expires in September 11 and I want to organise a warranty to run on from there. I have been told to get one that covers the SatNav and Catalytic Converters? Can anyone suggest a good policy at a sensible price. Thanks for your help.

there is only one to buy and that is the official LR extended one. £760 ex LR Assist and covers nearly everything. ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable
============
2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

Only if you want the old sucking air through teeth and the phrase "That's not covered sir, it's wear & tear!". If you don't want that then Warranty Direct.

when I say there is only one of course there are many, but the LR one doesn't cap labour, pays for basically anything any in effect is an extension to the manufacturers warranty. Best of all you dont pay a penny up front. ============

and as for wear and tear the LR official happily paid out (literally without question) for:

starter motor
thermostat
some steering damper thingy
upper tailgate glass
lower tailgate control junction box

A Land Rover Sales Manager who warned me off the Land Rover product saying it did not cover the Cat and SatNav and - they go wrong he says!

sat nav is covered as of 2011 policy booklet. No comm for selling the LR one according to "our friend James"....

here is the inclusion statement:
"the approved warranty covers defects to all factory fitted components of the vehicle for mechanical or electrical failure"

here is what is excluded:

glass
paintwork/bodywork
wheels and balancing unless part of a valid claim
recharging air con unless part of a valid claim
telephone/dvd
tyres
batteries
exhaust system
water ingress
strikers and hinges
consumables unless part of a valid claim ============

Thanks. Is there scope to negotiate the cost on these? Where do you buy them - the dealer? I am buying my car privately.

good question. You can certainly get them through a dealer although I don't know if that is the only place. There are conditions for acceptance <5 years and <75,000 miles and MAYBE full official service history - please check this!

They also offer interest free payments, 10 months @ £76/mo

And you can also pay more to include LR assistance which is basically the AA with car hire. ============

I have just purchased the Landrover Approved Warranty, cost £780/year or 10 monthly payments of £78. The car has to have the service book stamped at the appropriate time/mileage but it does not need to be the main dealer I use a good independent Landrover specialist.
I purchased my car privately when it was under two years old and arranged the warranty with the main dealer without any problems.
