Warranty Direct stopped selling.

Contacted Warranty Direct yesterday and was told they have stopped selling to public. Will honour current Warranty to end but not sure if they can renew. Bad news as they were the best.

Thats a bit of a ball ache. Whats the story here? why have they stopped? Any other recommendations? Mine is under LR for another two years and I was going to use WD after it lapsed but I'll have to think again now.

Can only assume that they were losing money on these warranties. Tim

I reckon so Tim - I’m sure something will come up though. Your motor sounds like a nice thing - do you have a picture of it? Smile

Yes, sales pitch is what you want to hear, in reality they won't cover anything unless it breaks, and then there are more get out clauses than you can imagine.

Or it may be a case of more class actions against JLR on the brits side to make there extended warranty stand the the test of time.

Thats annoying I was gonn get one this year as it worked out pretty reasonable if you just wanted the engne cover, the other stuff I wasnt too bothered about and was only thining about one cos of the crankshaft possible problem (the other I dont think covered that so not really sure who is best now, I did try a quote on Motor easy and it was £100 pcm but the labour charger per hour was based on £35 per hour! Find me a garage in this country that has a labour that cheap!

Also they call and call and call after so be prepared unless you stick down some fake numbers I guess

Maybe if we were all traders we could buy from WD? Or maybe if RRSPORT.co.uk could be the trader and sell on to us mere mortals as a minimal charge to help maintain the site? If a jobs worth doing, get a someone who knows what they are doing to do it!

I had “pre arranged” a 3 year warranty with warranty direct to start after my extended warranty runs out in January and paid a £25 deposit.

I phoned today to ask if they would still honour the warranty, it was a nice surprise when they said yes. Have now paid in full to make sure. Joined the X5 45e club

Lucky mate wish id done that! I guess they said they would honour exisiting renewals so fair play to them, its strange they decided to go this route although I suspec that it will be an admin cost thing that they only need to sell to dealers and the general public are harder to find as there are quite a few new boys in town.

I think when i looked the WD policies were really good compared to the competition too. If a jobs worth doing, get a someone who knows what they are doing to do it!

Gutted I never pre-arranged my cover for next year now.
Looks like I will have to take the LR extended warranty and ask for an email confirming Crank issue is covered (fingers crossed)

Interested to see if any other warranty companies come to light with a good reputation prior to this
