Land Rover Extended Warranty

My wife has a dec 04 TDV6 HSE and the warranty is due to expire in December. Land Rover can offer us a QBE warranty for £695 that covers us for 2 years.
Has anybody else taken this up? and had to claim?

What's A QBE Warranty....? That's a good price for two years, but it sounds like it's not a LandRover warranty, but more than likely the dealers own warranty. Does it also include LR Assist? If so, I'd rip their arm off. But sounds like their own one, so I'd be a bit cautious. I think the last price for one year extension was about 800 or so....

Yes it did include Land Rover Assist for 2 years. QBE she was told was a warranty offered by Ford?

Maxster, Where did QBE warranty offer come from, Dealer or Land Rover themselves? I am in similar position to your wife and like the sound of this.

QBE seem to be an insurance company, so I would double check that this is an extension of the same warranty that can be carried out at all LandRover dealers. But as I said before, sounds like a very very good price if the small prints stands up to strutiny. Thumbs Up

Hi,

No experience of LR extended warranty, but will be something I'll be thinking of when mine expires. I did go for a Warranty Direct (they're always raved about in the Telegraph) who did end up paying something to one repair in the end, but it was a major battle. I'd be nervous about this sort of thing again and also anything that wasn't Land Rover as they have a blanket 'anything not mentioned isn't covered - also above certain mileage they only cover %ages of the repair.

Even though 3rd party warranties do often cover 4x4 vehicles, they just (in my experience) don't cover all the detail of a complex LR system like the D3.

I had the policy for a 6 year old DII for one year, and then owned the car for a second year without the warranty. Whilst I did claim, I'd have been better off just sticking the cash in the bank for a while.


I just stuck the details of a 60K mile 2004 D3 to get a quote on the Warranty Direct Website.

A quick google came up with this page..

http://www.bestpricecar.com/asp/index.asp?lnk=1106

which seems to be for ford dealers i.e. the warranties are administered by 'Ford Protect Administration' but underwritten by QBE.

Not sure if this is any help mind...
