I'm sure the consensus will be that a LR warranty is the way to go, but you just need to have your eyes wide open to know exactly what is/is not covered.

£745 is the same amount I paid for my Full LR warranty and as previously stated, make sure and read exactly what's covered and whats not, otherwise you could get a shock if something goes t!ts up............ |

LR only do the "Select" extended warranty (as opposed to "Approved") for cars > 5 years old or with > 75,000 miles on the clock. Select provides a significantly lesser level of cover and is cheaper for that reason. As said, make sure you check the T&Cs carefully to see what is and isn't covered and the claim limits.

I have the LR Select warranty. It recently covered £1400 of work for a new rear diff on my 70k 57 plate 08MY TDV8. For the outlay of £695 for the warranty (renewed in August). They didn't cover the lower arms last year though (wear and tear). 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

LR Approved warranty covered worn ARB bushes and drop links for me earlier this year though. May be that's a difference between Approved and Select that Approved covers some known-to-wear items as well? I got the impression it would cover everything except consumables (tyres, brake pads, shoes & discs etc.) but I could be wrong. Or may be at less than 4 years old and 45k miles it wasn't considered fair wear & tear. |

I found the select warranty to be rubbish, they rejected all my claims due to "wear and tear"

Approved replaced the front ARB bushes a couple of years ago. Along with the alternator, starter motor (twice), complete rear dynamic anti roll bar, wheel bearing and CV boot (as part of the MOT warranty) and a couple of other things I forget. The LR warranty has served me well - which is another way of saying that the RRS isn't as reliable as it should be... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

^^^ So we kind of agree that Approved seems to cover a lot more than Select including some items which do wear out but are not "consumables" as such. Which is why Select is cheaper even though it is meant for older cars which in theory can have more claims. |
