Warranty and Guarantee
My 3 years guarantee on the Defender 110 250 diesel is nearly up. Currently 24k miles. Should I extend using LR or go with a 3rd party? Recommendations gratefully received

I've always gone for the LR extended warranty on this and previous LRs. Be careful to choose the Extended full warranty and not the Select version which is designed for higher mileage LRs and doesn't cover everything in the "Full Fat" one. Current vehicle: 2020 Defender 110S
Gone: Defender 90 HT 200Tdi, Discovery Sport, Freelander 2

Easy decision, go for the full Land Rover warranty, the others are cheaper because they do not cover as much, especially the labour charge.

Given it’s a JLR product I’ve gone full warranty with LR Assist. Usefully, there’s a 0% APR monthly payment option if you don’t want to shell out the full amount up front.

Some say it’s an expensive way to pay for repairs that may never be needed so they self insure by putting away an equivalent sum annually in an instant access savings account or even Premium Bonds. 23.5MY 90 V8 Carpathian grey

I’ve gone on a wing and a prayer! My car will be 5yr old in January, 37k miles so far. Only issues have been the headlamps and a parking sensor. If I had been extended warranted then they would have just replaced them and LR parts would be quids in!

As it happened, I argued with LR for a contribution on the first one, which ended up with an 80% parts contribution. This bill came to £700. Second headlamp I got repaired by an independent at £300.

So I’ve spent £1000 in repairs in 3 years out of warranty (provided it doesn’t break before January) How much would that have cost in warranty premiums? 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV
