Paul,

Thanks for that - who did you purchase your warranty from? Did you purchase it when you bought the car or after?

hey, you blokes better stop getting these insurance policies to pay for themselves in the first year...pretty soon none of them will be available to Land Rover owners!:eek:

Swann did mine, and yes the book said 5000km etc...

However, I rang Swann, and its actually 'as per manufacturers schedule'

Never had a claim issue, always easy to deal with....

And paid for itself over 3 years when the alternator was toasted at toolangi

Mike,

I rang Swann this morning and they told me that Land Rover's are not on their list? When did you buy your extended warranty?

I have been looking at a company called Elite Warranty. Their plan D costs $1287 for 36 months but has maximum claim amounts - ie.

Engine - $5,000
Gearbox/Transmission - $5,000
Differential - $5,000
Turbo Charger - $1,500
Cooling System - $1,300
Braking System - $1,200
Electrical System - $1,200

etc.

Am currently studing the 17 pages of fine print but it looks fairly standard. Policy is through AWN (All States Warranty).

Just called Swann again - they no longer do Land Rovers - obviously, they have had to pay out too many claims and found it financially unacceptable to issue new policies!

The only other extended warranty I can find is carbroker (Elite Warannty) but their policy hardly seems worth it when they exclude cylinder head gaskets!

Looks like no one offers and extended warranty for Land Rover's that is worth paying for!:(

Man, that sucks!

Perhaps you could speak to your current insurer and see if they'll add something to that policy...

Hi Franz, I bought it in 2005 I did have some trouble getting it back then.

Well that was $1120 well spent Just had the 80k service today and over $3000 in repairs required all on warranty
