So I have had my WD warranty now for 2 years , each year costing £950. 1st year no claims, 2nd year over £5K in authorized claims. The warranty is due for renewal in April and I was expecting a huge rise in price. Anyway it fell through my letterbox today and the renewal price is £1197.60. I am shocked it’s so cheap considering the claims I’ve had. I’m seriously considering signing up for another year. I know a lot of you guys/gals aren’t warranty fans but if I hadn’t have had it , it would have cost me thousands more in repairs than I have paid in renewals. Anyway I can’t recommend WD and JAS Land Rover specialists enough and if you are on the lookout for a warranty which will actually pay out WD is the way forward.

Good to hear, I have been with WD for a couple of years now (not had to claim yet) but always good to hear positive stories on claims being authorised.

Would you mind sharing what the warranty claim for 5K was for?

Thanks

Nick

Not at all. It’s all in my previous posts but I’ve had 3 claims, 1 for the pinion seal, 1 for door actuator for soft close doors and the 3rd which has just been approved (3 weeks ago) was for OS turbo and vacuum pump ( I think) I’ll know more once the work is done but is costing £3.5k

Thanks for heads up, luckily I have full LR main dealer history as knew this would always be an issue if you need to make a claim. (I initially had the LR approved used 2 year warranty before using WD)

Even though I got a good deal 3 years ago with £860 for three years cover on everything except Infotainment, I've just had my renewal through.

£1964 for ONE YEAR !!!!

I've not claimed in the last three years and so can't really explain why its gone through the roof.

One reason might be that the brand "Warranty Direct" keeps getting sold to different companies.

Dunno - either way, they can do one.

Chris, it could well be triggered by the age of the car plus their experience of LR claims. I reckon that almost any claim will come to at least £1k.

RRS sold and replaced with a Skoda Kodiaq after appalling RR Dealer experience and LR inability to supply new cars in any sort of reasonable time frame..

My experience when checking was from memory about 3K!

Mmm my car is a 2015 with 46K on the clock. Don’t know what mileage your car is but I’m sure that could be a factor too.

Doesn’t make any sense does it. Are you going to renew? I said to myself I wouldn’t be renewing as I was expecting a high premium due to my claims but now I’m contemplating it. If the renewal cost was like yours I wouldn’t be though. I actually went on their site and inputted my details as a new customer expecting some new customer discount and the premium was £3250. I can’t imagine anyone getting a warranty at that price……..
