Knocking suspension, covered under warranty? |
|
Hi, My Disco is going in for 96,500 miles in a couple of weeks. I have the full LR Extended Warranty package at the moment.
The front suspension is knocking quite markedly and reading through the posts on here it would appear that it is likely to be the suspension bushes?
Question- would the replacement of these be covered under the extended warranty or would it be considered wear and tear?
LR Warranty have agreed to pay for the 2 or 3 minor things I've had to claim for so far and I've been quite happy with the Extended Warranty package, even if slightly expensive.
Apologies if this is a slightly 'newbie' question, I don't use the forums much.
Thanks in advance Me-2010 Discovery 4 HSE. Santorini Black, Privacy Glass, 20" 5 Spoke Diamond Turned Alloys, Rear Seat Entertainment

Same issue on my D3 in 2009 - sadly LR warranty refused to pay out as classified as wear and tear
This was 6 years ago and things may have changed
If you are having an MOT ISTR that MOT failure was covered - might be worth a punt that way?
Give it a go and good luck

I've just had mine done under LR 2year warranty only owned it since April 62k miles on the clock the knocking became louder and louder.

Thanks Adam,
I do have MOT cover included alas MOT not due until March 1st 2016 and I will be over 100k miles before then so I'm not sure I'll still have Extended Warranty by then?
I'll give it a go as you say! The car has been brilliant with virtually no issues so happy to make the further investment to keep it going for another 20-30k or so.

No surprise to hear that LR Extended Warranty said 'poke off' to claim for knocking bushes!! 100k miles, you're having a laugh they said, wear and tear!! Me-2010 Discovery 4 HSE. Santorini Black, Privacy Glass, 20" 5 Spoke Diamond Turned Alloys, Rear Seat Entertainment

Sorry to hear this chap as I know how much they'll cost to replace and feel for you.
But For the sake of others one here contemplating extended warranties, that's another reason I went for Warranty Direct instead of LR Extended Warranty - I've now had front and rear arms/bushes and one or two of the ball joints done on the D4, most recently the rear ones and that was at 94k miles, all covered by WD LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

There is no reason why you can't take it for an MOT now, could be £30 well spent if they fail it and the work gets done under the warranty. IID PRO
