Warranty Cost
I'm trying to compare the costs of keeping my MY23.5 Metropolitan beyond 3-years vs changing it, and have learnt from friends experience (recent £12k claim), and this forum, that the official Land Rover Extended Warranty is a prudent cost of ownership.
The anniversary isn't until the end of the year, however, I cannot get any idea of prices until 60 days prior to expiry of the manufacturer's warranty. That's too short a window to order a new car.
Can anyone reveal what their bells-and-whistles warranty costs, please, especially if it's on a Discovery which is recently or soon to be 3-years old.

Wouldn’t keep a LR beyond 3 years without one tbh, you shouldn’t need to take a warranty as a necessity, but there you are.
My car is 6 years old, 50k miles and I’ve just paid out £1640 including roadside.
I’ve had my moneys worth, including the original engine, it’s on number 3. That said, engine replacement shouldn’t happen as a matter of routine and doesn’t with other brands.
I would buy another new car, but i don’t do the mileage and so long as the thing gets me about most of the time and has a large boot, I am happy.
There a lot more worthwhile things I can think to spend the money on tbh rather than a driveway ornament.
That said, I am an endangered species, a cash buyer, rather than the merry go round PCP customers, who never actually own the car.
PCP was designed to flog vehicles to people who couldn’t necessarily afford one, nothing more. It’s basically a car rental, a marketing ploy, all imho obvs.
