Good morning all,

Bought my 4.4 TDV8 this time last year and it came with 12 months warranty. Never knew who the warranty was with really and as I've had a faultless year I've not really been concerned.

Just had a letter from Olympic Warranties with their renewal quote of £229/year which seems fair enough, unless they're rubbish? Their Premier Plus Policy seems to cover most things but is limited to a £1000 claim limit, which might just cover an interior bulb replacement, but I'm more concerned with turbo or gearbox failure.

Just after a bit of advice, please?

Cheers.

£1,000 won't come anywhere near paying for a turbo or gearbox replacement, so I'd either not bother, or pay for a warranty that will cover those items. I would be surprised if such a thing would cost you less than a grand a year. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

The following thread should give you a clue. To be fair, I don't suppose this particular warranty company is any better or worse than any other.

Just read that thread pretty poor from the warranty company but a hefty pay out if they "admitted" it was covered. The analysis from Mikey (the repairer) was the assessment was incorrect. Typical for warranty firm to dodge the bullet.

Speaking with a pal with a D4 last night. His gearbox ECU threw it's toys out of the pram and the warranty firm have offered him 50% of the cost  Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

I'm guessing you didn't buy it as an Approved Used from a LR Dealer with the 2yr LR warranty?

You could price up an LR warranty if it falls in their criteria (less than 7rs/100k i think)

Repairs on fatties can be big bucks so I would always have a warranty, especially for the big ticket items (that'll be most stuff with a FFRR then ) 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

Cheers gents,

Just put my details into LR Warranty and it won't even quote (Price & 70,000 miles)?

May be worth contacting them.
I have a 2011 with 75k, just renewed in Jan cost £1400 but was £1100 year before.
Goes up with age / mileage.

Mines been in for a few bits, although probably cost less than the warranty I'd rather have that peace of mind.  2011 (MY12) 4.4 TDV8 Vogue
