Thread: Cracked Turbo Hose- 2 weeks out of warranty- Allianz knock back

I'm certain LR told me the damage including parts and labour exceeded $3500. Therefore my warranty paid for itself in the first hit.


It's not really a warranty anyway. It's an insurance policy where Allianz agree to pay for the repair if it's deemed as a covered item.


I went through the policy with a fine tooth comb anticipating issues. The policy states nothing about whether LR approve it or otherwise, it's not their decision to make. The only things that weren't warranted are identical to what wouldn't be covered in a factory warranty, which is pretty much wear and tear parts. However, even they are covered if damaged due to the failure of a warranted part. Which was the case in my incident with the belts and suspension parts.

Maybe the Ts & Cs are different if you purchased through LR but they had no say whatsoever in my policy. I don't see why they would anyway .... as I said it's an insurance policy and it's payed work, with the money coming from a third party, not LR. Makes no sense at all.


Cheers.

Yes the Allianz extended warranty through LR is different to the Allianz extended warranty that is basically an insurance policy(if that makes sense) ours was a factory extended warranty through Allianz, which was worth dick, as LRA had the last word.

Anyway it was good for the dealer to come to the party, so a good outcome for lpj, proves that not all dealers are bad.

I bought mine from the dealer. You'd want to hurry because it still has to have factory warranty left I believe.
