You could always talk to Car Care Plan as they underwrite the genuine warranty. If it was £1500 a year that's cheaper than taking the Trade/Retail split for changing the car. |

We were talking recently, planning ahead for later this year when our Approved Used warranty expires; do we take out extended warranty or put money aside? Here is our conversation and your thoughts rolled into one, if that makes sense....

put money aside, you seem to have had most of the jobs done which need doing as part of the "things that break" category. As Dom said Car care plan underwrite the LR warranty and though you can't buy direct from them they do sell similar retail policies through dealers, branded as dealer group own warranties. Inchcape do one through hunters which is CCP, which is very similar to the LR warranty. I have one on my disco as it has a recurring fault, which costs 1500 quids each time it goes and goes roughly once every 18 months...... the warranty is £695, so over a period I'm generally up. However i hammer the car with trailers and building sites

If you have been having DPF problems then maybe a petrol car would be better.

Thanks all. I'm inclined to agree - keep the car and enjoy it, and maintain a slush fund instead of a third party warranty. I have a great indy just around the corner to keep her in top shape. Here's to many miles of trouble-free motoring! |

My take on it is this (without knowing, or wanting to, your financial position) :-

Mine has just turned 113 k, and the tailgate was replaced under warranty soon after I bought the car. I have since, at my own expense, worked through a list of repairs, discs & pads, all front suspension arms, rear brake pipes, wheel nuts, etc. I had budgeted for these items when I bought the car, and maintenance is obviously an ongoing process, as with any car. As we all know, LR spares prices are towards the higher end of the spectrum, so a contingency fund is essential. The only item that surprised me was the tailgate, as the car was just over 4 years old when that job was done.
