Extended the warranty on my RRS 10 months ago when the initial 3 year warranty ran out. Since then the only expenses on the car had been wear & tear related. Been wondering what to do this year: renew it, go for Warranty Direct/Warranty Wise/AA or take a chance without any warranty as the car has been very reliable and never let me down.

It went in for service/MoT on Monday and passed. However, the few problems I had reported and the dealer's health checks resulted in £2k worth of parts & labour being quoted to put it right I informed them about the warranty. They came back to me later saying the company will send an engineer out to inspect it due to the total cost of the claim. Got a call today and every item has been approved As painless and hassle-free as you would expect

The issues are:
1. CD player/radio unit doesn't play discs anymore. Needs to be replaced.
2. Suspension drop links. Little bit of noise when going over uneven surfaces.
3. Noisy EPB motor. Very slightly more pronounced than normal when applying or releasing parking brake.

The car comes back on Friday so will know if all the niggles are gone. Feedback on the dealership pending until then but so far they've been superb.

Out of interest, how much did it cost to extend the warranty with Land Rover? Mine is still in its 3 year warranty until September & I'm looking to extend it.
Someone told me that Land Rover will write to me nearer the time & may offer a deal. I'm in the shed, I'll be back in the real world in a minute.

just got offered 3 years extended Land Rover warranty for £1,900.....

I didn't get a discount when I tried. Was told the price was fixed. Paid just over £1,000 including LR Assistance for 1 year. I know the price went up a few days after I bought my warranty so £1,900 for 3 years is a great price even if it doesn't include LRA.

£1900 for 3 years! worth every penny you don't need many problems in 3 years to rack up equivalent in repair costs. I have had 2 non LR warrantys & have found to my expense they are crap. Get the warranty specific to a land rover as these have some specialised parts that are not covered on standard policys.

If you go for a non LR warranty get them to record your enquiry conversation & get a copy & be very specific to get answers to what is covered they will wriggle out of anything if they have a chance.

£1160 for 12 months now. This has been covered in another thread about buying a TDV8. All extended warrantees are much the same but AA gold and LR are probably the best. As already said, LR small print says maximum claim is £3000 per claim but unlimited number of claims to the value of the car in the year. Doesn't cover much and certainly not a turbo or engine failure but along with warrantee, LR are for more likely to offer assistance with a LR warrantee than without it.
Am thinking of taking one out to cover what's left of mine that hasn't been replaced this sitting. Not sure which way to go  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!

As both require 150 point inspection prior to inception by a LR dealer, or a pre sale inspection in the case of a car sold by a dealer, at a cost to the buyer it kind of takes the pee just a bit. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Agreed. That's why I didn't let it go out of warranty and extended before it ran out, in which case no inspection is required, hence no additional cost

I also bought online and pay monthly. The downside of paying monthly is that you can't transfer the warranty to the new owner when you sell the car but you can transfer if paid upfront. Could mean a lost incentive for some buyers. The upside is it might be possible to cancel the direct debit and stop paying for it when you sell the car. Not sure if they treat it as an annual contract and will come after you to collect the remaining installments.

^^ I doubt they would take you to court, more likely just stop warranting the vehicle obviously. Just mentioned it as it was something I wasn't able to clarify at the time. Wasn't bothered too much as I wasn't planning to sell the car. Certainly not important enough to affect the decision.

I was just about to get extended warranty as well even though I still got 17m factory warranty to go. Maybe I should take consideration of 3 years option? 2012 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 Autobiography Sumatra Black
