Title: Main dealer or aftermarket warranty... ??
Post by: johnte on March 16, 2009, 22:49:26
I'm thinking of turning the P38 in (after 2 years of trouble free motoring) and splashing out on a L322. Question is, do I pay more and buy from a main dealer to get the warranty, or buy privately (much cheaper  :dance:) and go for a good aftermarket warranty  :-k..

Has anyone had any good experiences with warranty companies...    Can you recommend one.

Thanks..

Looking at another forum where warranties were discussed at length, there were two contenders Tesco which have the same underwriters as Land Rover Warranty and the AA warranty, I took the AA one out on my D3, not had to use them yet but others have said they are good,  Mark

I did look at Tesco, but they don't cover anything over 3500cc  :(  I'm also looking for 'wear and tear cover' which some of the cheaper policys don't include..

I find it odd that Tesco won't cover over 3.5ltr as they use the same underwriters as land Rover, tesco's must be playing safe in their view :huh:
