Hi , im thinking of buying a warranty for my 06 RRS , can anyone recomend a descent company that would pay out on a claim. there seems to be loads out there but which one?????

Loads in here http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/finance-insu...-vf24.html , remember a RRS is just a D3 in drag! My cars covered by Warranty Direct & so far they have been excellent at paying out.

I scanned the forums doing the same.....went with Warranty Direct in the end......think i paid £600 quid including Satnav on a 2008 2.7 HSE.

Yes you have to pay the bill but before the job is started WD would have authorised it so it's just a case of jumping through the paperwork hoops. I'm just about to send off the form for a new turbo, Guava said they were fine to deal with and we had no problems with the engineer's inspection (needed as it was quite a meaty claim).

My thoughts on extended warranty is don't try and go it alone, these cars can be complete cash cows (some peeps are lucky, so far) and it doesn't take much to end up with a mega bill. What swayed it for WD is they cover wear & tear, and have paid out on that (wheel bearing).

one thing with WD (applies to them all actually. And insurance too) - get a quote but don't follow through with it. Wait a day or two and they'll start calling/emailing you. Guarantee you will get 15% or more off, plus free 'extras' like sat nav cover.

15%?? Was nearer 50% off when I did it. Treat em mean & keep em keen. The "today only" offer will be around tomorrow, and the next day, so you can go through the small print. Post here or D3side what you've been offered and peeps will either be mildly upset that you've haggled a better deal or tell you what they pushed for and got. Mention RRSnort.co.uk or DISCO3.CO.UK to get a "club" discount as well.

Or you could try http://www.warrantywise.co.uk/?_=kw:warranty+wise|cgn: you DON'T have to pay up front for your repairs they settle the bill direct with the garage, but as said above DON'T take out cover with their first quote.

I must admit will have a good look at WW at renewal. Will be OK for this renewal in May but got to stay under 100k for WD or WW warranty in 2012. Above that warranties become problematic

and you want to do business with these people?

they're taking the mickey.

and if they're routinely looking to shaft customers on price then it doesn't bode too well for claim time, does it?

avoid.

If I'd taken that attitude I'd have been well out of pocket. You pays yer money etc but so far I've no regrets using these policies. At 2k for a knackered turbo it makes sense to me.

yeah well i like to think that there's still a bit of room for being up front and straightforward in today's world.

so i just try to avoid companies that do business like this.

it's called margin, and ALL companies do the same

It's a tough one - but if it were me, I would go with a LR warranty if you could. We're spending close to £25K upwards on these cars - would an extra £400 over what these compnaies chanrge be such a big deal? No having to pay out first or go to non LR garages etc.....

I came close to taking out a 3rd party warranty, and messed up the paperwork on my end, but in the end I left it, and had a year of hassle free motoring, apart from an EGR valve which LR paid 50% of.

If I were to do it again - you have the car, and paid the money, now don't be a tight wad on the warranty front if you can renew LR warranty. If you can't if LR was been and gone then by all means go for a 3rd party.

don't agree. no need to bend over and take it like a man.

encourage the businesses that give you their best price up front.

don't give custom to those that offer a bloated price and then almost immediately lower it.

to me this is just taking the and i'll take my business elsewhere.
