    2018 Discovery Si6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    I bit the bullet last week and took the LR warranty out. Never taken a warranty out on a car in my life. There are 2 options and I chose the sightly more expensive one, at just over £1000.

    I just bought from warranty direct. £312 with the excess at £100. There was an option with no excess for about £420 as I recall.

    Went with landrover/assist this week.On the basis it will cut out the middleman if something goes wrong and hopefully more straightforward.but as in any insurance policy the proof of the pudding is in the eating

    Warranty Direct used to be the warranty of choice, but it’s changed hands recently,

    The LR warranty is expensive by comparison. But if you don’t take it out when the 3 years manufacturers warranty is up, then you can’t later. It does have the benefit of the main dealer claiming from them direct.

    However, I believe the LR warranty has exceptions. One is to D3/4 broken cranks as it’s deemed a manufacturing defect. Not sure about the D5. It’s a bit of a lottery tbh and you’ll only find out how good the warranty is when you come to claim. Just a bit of hard luck if they draw the line at fitting a new engine!

    If you go over the 3 year period, there is a £250 charge, as LR go over the car, before allowing you to take the warranty out, to check if there are no issues beforehand.
