Thread: Land Rover Extended Warranty

Unfortunately/fortunately whichever way you look at it, Land Rover don't offer extended warranty on Defender Models.

got my new defender last Thursday paid $2995 for 3 year extended manufactures warranty

Well thats a surprise......I spoke to Landrover Australia, David? asked him the question and was told they don't offer it on the Defender range. I was at Alto service centre at St Leonards a couple of weeks ago and got the same answer.

Who knows what the bloody hell is going on...

I will say, very expensive though, I had purchased extended warranty for a Navara D40 I had a few years ago it was only $1000 or thereabouts, it was for 2 extra years from memory.

Edit: I'm not trying to be a pain here I find it strange that it is offered on the west coast but not the east coast. I just looked into Land Rover Assured Extended Warranty, http://www.landrover.com/au/en/rr/ow...nded-warranty/ it only mentions 12 or 24 month period, not 36 month. Has your dealer maybe sold you some kind of aftermarket warranty perhaps?

Land Rover don't offer extended warranty for the defender I know that as fact

it was only alliance (i think) and one other company (cant remember the name) that did, and the alliance were going to stop doing it not long after we got it for ours, so I wonder whether our friend here has a policy with the the other company.

Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. I don't know whether aftermarket warranty for vehicles is worth the paper its written on, that's not personal experience mind you. I note the Land Rover Ext Warr is underwritten by Alianz Australia.

I just hope the dealer hasn't done a shonky on him esp at $3k. Anyhow I shot off an email to Land Rover Aus for clarification, just had an auto reply they will get back within 2 days.

Sounds like they charged dawsey for the 3yr waranty you get anyway

That's because Nissan don't actually fix anything under warranty.. the $1000 is used to send you reams of letters saying 'no' and for staff to man the complaint lines about their non existent warranty service.

And I asked about purchasing a extended warranty when I bought my Defender but was also told that they don't offer it for Defenders.

I got Alliance extended warranty on my vehicle nearly 3 years ago now....(covered until October '13)....just before I read here somewhere that they stopped offering it. I've had close to $7000.00 worth of claims (one a very expensive body work fault) put through on it, not one rejected - so worth the paper it's written on? It's worth trice every cent of the $2200.00 of the paper it's written on.

And MR Automotive do all the work via this policy. Best money I ever spent LR wise.

Not surprised no one offers it any more. Don't know anyone who never made ( or tried - the dealer policies were not so good) a claim on such policies.
