Just clarify - is that £800 for 2 years, and does it include wear and tear?2008 D3 HSE Stornoway Grey with Ebony Leather, towing a Coachman VIP 575

Try Warrantywise, I have them, fixed monthly price for 3 years, but not had to claim yet so I can't offer advice on that score. You can add all sorts of options and cost per hour at your main dealer.
You need to read exactly what is covered as there are differences between Warrantywise and Warranty Direct, for instance Warrantywise cover the clutch release bearing whereas Warranty Direct exclude it (and I think mine is about to go) and there are bound to be other differences.
If I were you I would get a quote from a few online, then sit back and wait, within a day or two they will call you and offer an upgrade or a discount.
Just don't expect it to be like your original warranty.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Help... Just had quote for LR warranty...12 months £760 + assist £880.
Is it worth the extra for assist? Should I go with whole package, just warranty, elsewhere?
Its a 56 plate HSE, I had dealer LR warranty when I got it, runs out next month.
Thoughts Please...

Isn't LR Assistance run by the AA now? AA's much cheaper. I went for AA + Warranty Direct on the basis that the WD warranty looked far better value for mine at its age/mileage and on the couple of times I called out LRA when I had it in the past, they didn't have anyone local who could have fixed it, so I just got a flat bed local recovery guy coming out. My guess with very limited research was that if I needed recovering, I'd rather be recovered by the AA, and if there was some electrical glitch that could be fixed/reset by the side of the road, the AA might be able to do that as they had the LRA contract.
You might want to check what sort of car the AA give you etc...2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

Re recovery went for RAC through Tesco Clubcard Deals, 75% discount with one set of cover doing both D3s and SWMBO's Jazz (when it's warranty dies). Cheap as chips (£58 in vouchers for top level cover) and paid for itself many times over considering recovery costs are £1/mile both ways!
Warranty is Warranty Direct, not had to use it yet.

I competed a quote on WARRANTYWISE, it was about the same as the others. I didn't purchase the vehicle, but after about five days of not going through with the deal they kept sending me discount codes and offers to reduce the price.
I am going to remember that, as I will wait about two weeks before purchasing and wait for the discount codes to come through

WarrantyWise - silver cover.
Just to let you know, a replacement EGR is NOT covered in their silver policy.
