Hi

What is the best warranty for my 2005 RRS 2.7 HSE, done 95k? Considered the AA Warranty, appx £22 a month.

Any advice/feedback appreciated,

Without knowing its details, i can't comment, but read this thread, it might help your choice of warranty. http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic25926.html

Thanks Ady, it seems it is a choice between chance it or WD/AA Warranty! More research required. I am keen to find out who has had what work done under these policies. Any one else have any input?

Ive got AA they gud I got a new battery fitted by them at a garage and they ran a diagnostic all hassle free, heard bad things bowt WD that's y I didn't go with them Java black 2006

when i bought my rrs back in oct i phoned aa and joined.guy on phone talked me into having there "breakdown repair warranty" as well,only was paying £11.33 a month.about 4 weeks into owning my rrs one of my egr valves went and aa picked up the bill£400 minus £35 excess,and then about 3 weeks later the other egr valve went and again they picked up bill.! only paid them at this stage £11.33.! and they paid out over £700.! you must allways call the aa patrol out first when you have a problem,the secound aa guy that came out to me told me that there cover is great and even picks up bill for new batteries.! only downside is that you can only claim 5 times a year upto £500 a time,but im hopeing this should be more than enough.!

Thanks, positive stuff so far for AA. WD does get some bad PR, but then as is the norm only the bad bits get talked about on forums etc. I'll price both up today and make a decision. Favouring towards AA already. Ref egr, luckily mine has just had those done, the big jobs for me are discs and pads and a 105k+cam belt service..... Feeling the pain already.

Also bare in mind, if your gearbox or engine goes hopefully it won't you will ony get £465 towards the repair bill with the AA, where as if you are with WD they will pay the full amount minus £50 excess and depending on which cover you take out it can all be repaired at a land rover garage. Its worth thinking about.

personally I'd always go with the official LR extension. Yes it is outsourced/underwritten by some other company but the "brand leverage" you get is undeniable.

there is a really good thread about this somewhere else  ============

2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable

Okay,
I have decided to go for the AA for now. Having read the t and cs of each I noted that any mot advisory notes are not covered. On mine I have a couple that need sorting. Also the WD and warranty wise offer only cover 50% of the part costs. Both of the later would have cost me £650 ish. The AA is £22 a month. I know it covers a bit less. The LR only covers up to 100k so for me this is not an option.

Hopefully I will not need any!!!

£22 a month.! what cover you got for this.? i pay £16 whick includes the breakdown warranty and aa home start and roadside.! is it the breakdown warranty you gone for or is there another.?

Hi

I am waiting for the full policy document to arrive. But it is only a warranty, not breakdown cover. I have this via Greenflag from my last car. I will check the t and cs in more detail and update this thread.

By the way, just been quoted £475 for a full cambelt job from landrangers.co.uk. Seems okay to me, any thoughts on the price?

Hi, please anyone out there do not go with Warranty Direct. I had a suspension issue that was investigated by Taggerts Glasgow. They supplied report to WD and then I spent the following 9 days fighting between WD and Taggerts trying to get the car fixed. To cut a long story short WD are a complete joke, and please please do not use them.
I ended up getting the AA to cover the repair with no trouble at all, only took a morning to get the go ahead. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

Cubbyno9, sorry to here you have had a bad time with WD, to be honest, part of the reason why I went for the cheaper AA deal was because I believe that all of these firms will try all they can to mitigate their cost on presentation of a claim... For me, i just want cover for the main stuff, i am happy to take on the wear and tear and other stuff, my mechanic will work on my car for £100 a day, I supply parts so I get a good deal. If you read into the Tandc's, they tare stacked with great areas...... Anyone else had any other good/bad warranty experiences? I am sure we'd all love to here about them to help us form our own opinions,

By the way........... Loving my new (to me, but actually 2nd hand) RRS, it is mint!

I had a bad experience wi with wd, I would steer well clear of them.

Hi Mixy,

Brilliant mate, thanks so much for the great advice. Now I am clearer as to the way forward for my next car. Very clear explanation to the financial minefield that I don’t have a clue about.

RRSport world, anyone looking for a clear picture on the minefield of Car Finance for either purchasing a new car or advice on your current agreement, Mixy is a great help and doesn’t use the jargon of car garage salesman.

When I get my new car, when you are up in Glasgow the beer is on me.
