You could pay a main dealer or a independent specialist to inspect the car if you could get the seller to agree to that and if the professional checker had a slot within the right time frame for seller and potential buyer; or you could just pay the likes of AA or RAC to do an inspection. |

Thx pld I was thinking exactly this. If MD inspected could a LR warranty be added? |

I just bought mine from a private seller, it has half a year or JLR extended warranty, the seller had to have it inspected and rectify any faults to be able to get a warranty.

At the time I got mine inspected by a local specialist Indy; one hour labour (£65) and a verbal debrief. Expect to pay maybe £300 if you want a written report you can rely on legally. I did have to get the seller to agree to drop the car in etc but as he believed in the car and a price had been agreed in principle he was happy to assist. |

Yes, if it has no LR warranty currently, then if you have it MD health checked, you could then pay for the LR Warranty as long as the car is not 10 years old or has not done 100k miles - and provided any faults the inspection/ health check finds get rectified first. We pay monthly for the LR Extended warranty. 10 months and no interest is charged. £168/ month without breakdown cover. It’s a lot but it’s a good warranty if you want the peace of mind. The beauty of paying monthly is, if you sell the car, you can stop the warranty immediately and without penalty. Pointless for us to lay out £1680 per year on that basis, especially as our current L405 will be going soon(er or later). |

You have several levels of JLR warranty and the cheapest is £975 ish quid but has a spending limit of £3K per claim and is subject to the same 10yr or 100k miles... |

After much looking around, we got a MotorEasy 3-year premium warranty, which covers repairs up to the market value of the vehicle. After a bit of haggling, it was about £900 paid interest free over 12 months, then you have 2 “free” years.

That sounds better Craig but i thinks that's just repairs with no breakdown recovery.

Never had a problem with LR warranty claims handling. You never actually need to deal with them directly as customer services at the MD deals with them. Customer services/ advisors at LR MD’s can be difficult to tie down though. |

Gremlin - when you say it covers repairs, does that extend to replacement engines, replacement gearboxes, replacement Air Suspension etc etc - or is it just a warranty to cover repairs, like if the central locking stops working ? |

@pcourtney, it depends which plan you choose, A B or C: (and pay accordingly!)

Sorry, I should have added that “A” is the most comprehensive, and closely matches that which a typical motor manufacturer would offer, so this is the one to go for if like me you suffer from SP (Sods’ Paranoia) or just love your FFRR to bits

Having read your post about this company Gremlin and having seen your, IMO, recent, impressive forum history (you sound more OCD than me, which is a good thing when it comes to cars IMO), I enquired online with this company for a warranty for, not our RR, but a “modern classic’’ car (i.e. 20 years old)… unfortunately, the website wouldn’t let me proceed and advised me to ring them and to date, one can’t be *rsed |
