And in comparison, we had an L494 in with a noisy rear diff, and LRA warranty

I put a few quid away each month in an ISA as I don’t trust any warranty company. It’s an insurance product and the business model of insurers is not too pay out if they can avoid it.

Had manufacturer approved warranties for years on many different cars never had any issue. My first time with 3rd party warranty as i bought the car privately and they really dont worth the paper they written on.

It’s had it, mine was ‘sticking’ solution was to replace it with a new part - genuine LR part is around 160 if you can get one, takes a couple of hours if you do the donut hoses while you’re mucking about with it.

I was going to just pay myself and move on as i authorised the work to the dealer already. But it bugged me a lot more than it should for some reason. Probably i really could not take the reason for their decline saying part not failed just valve is sticking...

I'd never have one of these aftermarket warranties. At the end of the day, they are a business out to make money. If it breaks, just pay to get it fixed or fix it yourself. Simples.

Yep, I get that Gremlin. They are an insurance company at the end of the day. Lots of people pay in, the majority don't claim and the minority do, otherwise they wouldn't be in business.

Yes we are an odd breed, we trawl around to find the cheapest policy/part/service etc. and are then surprised when it’s not as good as the more expensive version.

Everyone's look to risk mitigation is different and I respect them all. I generally buy my cars outright never keep them more than couple of years. I am happy to loose in depreciation in that couple of years but not happy to pay for repair.

Motoreasy have now paid me £530 of the total £670 bill which is as per the policy. Policy states %80 percent of the parts for car over 5 years old and full cost of labour up to £120 per hour + VAT with first £50 contribution from me. They also had special discounted rate agreement with the main dealer at £105ph which put the hourly rate under my policy limit.
