Hi,
I've had by 61 plate RRS for a few months now and the service is now due on 40k. I am also looking to extend the warranty. I'm inexperienced with owning a car of this value. My two nearest dealers are Harwoods of Crawley and Harwoods of Pulborough. Are they any good. Any words of wisdom will be gratefully received.

Can't help with those dealers, hopefully someone nearer you will be along to comment soon.

I would strongly advise extending the warranty. I bought LR Approved Extended Warranty for my previous RRS. I understand they have changed their warranty products so names may also be different now. While LR warranties are not cheap, mine more than paid for itself and it didn't even have any major problems - just CD player, parking brake and some suspension components. Also got the backing of LR Customer Service which helped with sorting out an issue (that was not covered by warranty) FoC as a goodwill gesture.

Others have used Warranty Direct and had good experiences with them too. They cover wear & tear which LR ext warranty doesn't. General consensus is that LR warranty (provided by Car Care Plan) is more likely to accept a reasonable claim whereas WD try to wriggle out a bit more. Having said that, some people have had bad experiences with LR one too.

Search the forum for "extended warranty" and you will find plenty of information on this subject

thanks for your advice. much appreciated
