An observation... what can be learned from this forum means being more enlightened as to what underlying issues might be and on occasions, accurately being able to suggest to main dealers (i.e. at times they haven't seemed to have a clue) what the specific issues are, including being able to quote known faults, relevant service bulletins and examples of others who have had certain issues warranty repaired.

Another point... not always convinced that main dealers have made representations (or appropriate representations) to the warranty provider - because people on the service desk haven't had a clue as to whether an issue is covered or not and have jumped to subjectively misinterpret the policy guidance - on more than one occasion, I've phoned the warranty company and facilitied to ensure that what I believe to be covered, rightly gets covered... and have been successful... main dealers don't always get policy interpretation right and don't always try hard enough to fight your corner.

Down to individual choice... if the LR warranty was a rip off, I wouldn't be wasting hard earned money paying for it... But you can make your own luck... and based on a good return over 14 years, I keep buying

Thanks for all of the replies today chaps

While there will be disappointments ahead, no doubt, for cover for Year4, between 100,000 and 135,000 miles, I’m still more likely to get value for money out of the LR policy. Unfortunately, neither WD to LR would touch it after it’s 4 years old, but I can’t blame them

You can get cover from LR.

The criteria is under 10 years and 100k Regards

Bizarrely, LR’s website will only take applications for cars with less than 99,500 miles, though it doesn’t seem to mind if you apply a bit early (before 99,500 occurs) - which is helpful

Not wishing to hijack but a question. What is stopping you having your vehicle serviced at a VAT registered garage with genuine LR parts and if any problems occur that are deemed a warranty claim going direct to the administering company?

..

Good to know thank you.

My car is due to go back to finance company two days after a service, so I guess there is nothing stopping me going elsewhere to get it serviced?

Cheers.
