Warranty is up next month on my 2018 RRS (3.0)

Land Rover extended warranty quote is £892 with no excess.

Warranty Direct is £319 including AA Assistance & Home Start (worth about £100) and £150 excess.

Seems like a no brainer really to go with Warranty Direct? However my main concern is obviously the crankshaft. LR extended warranty doesn’t cover it, but they say LR will cover it as goodwill if it has been serviced and you have the extended warranty. WD warranty not really sure since the buy out? Would LR would still cover it as goodwill if I had the WD warranty and WD wouldn’t cover it?

Interesting! I noticed that WD would only let you take it back to where you bought it from. I assumed that would cover any Land Rover main dealer regardless of which particular one you bought it from. But I guess not!

Might actually be leaning towards the LR warranty now as it looks like it may be less hassle if something does go wrong. I made a claim with them about a week after taking out the warranty on an Evoque a couple of years ago and they paid out with no hassle at all (£2k)

£319 seems cheap , is there a max claim on that ? You will need over £20k to fix crank snap with main dealer , obviously less with an indy but still probably half that so need at least 10k's worth of cover MY 18 RRS HSE Dynamic ,MY 16 RRS Autobiography now gone & MY 2005 Discovery 3 HSE that I will be buried in !

No there is no limit on the cost (up to the value of the car). It has only done 15k miles so that’s probably why. It’s a good deal - but not being able to take it to a main dealer and also having to get it pre-authorised etc is putting me off.

The only time I have heard of LR not repairing crank failure FOC when the car has extended warranty was when the the warranty was not purchased by the claimant but transferred when the vechicle was purchased privately , hence LR say no goodwill as you didn't buy the car from us .
I expect if you didn't service it with LR you may be on a sticky wicket so you probably need to cost in LR servicing with your warranty to be on the safe side of a crank snap !
15k miles won't help , ours snapped at 20k miles MY 18 RRS HSE Dynamic ,MY 16 RRS Autobiography now gone & MY 2005 Discovery 3 HSE that I will be buried in !

Who says that? The dealer? Because he's probably lying. Some get some help, others have been left high and dry. I wouldn't trust the word of the dealer in general anyway, and certainly not when it comes to what LR might do in the future as a goodwill gesture.

Is there any advantage to getting LR assist with the extended warranty over just going direct with the AA?

I seem to remember LR assist previously being able to book the car in with LR for warranty work quicker than if I just rocked up on my own? Is this still the case? Any other advantages apart from the hire car for 48 hours?

Car plan even they themselves would pay for a crank snap due to the fact it had happened once already on my car and so the next engine would of had the upgraded crank which wouldn't be a design fault if it failed MY 18 RRS HSE Dynamic ,MY 16 RRS Autobiography now gone & MY 2005 Discovery 3 HSE that I will be buried in !

All warranty claims have to be pre-authorised when outside of manufacturers warranty, even with the JLR Approved warranties...
