I was quoted £960 for an extra years warranty and LRA on my Evoque. Turned it down, put it away (in my mind!) and 6 months in I’ve still got £960 in my 'fund'. Fingers crossed for the next 6 months!  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

This is my thinking Steve,  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Can you go back after the 1 year without warranty and take out a warranty.?

Not sure think you'd have to ask dealer on that. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Suppose it’s like pet insurance....keep putting money in an old welly every month, then when the Labrador needs a hip replacement the money may be in the welly

If the lab doesn’t need a hip, maybe the owner does...

Yes but the Land Rover warranty does not cover tyres battery replacement etc

I have had two FL2s under warranty that needed between them: gearbox, rear diff, wheel bearings, transfer box, exhaust sensors and the 2011 hesitation problem plus a few other bits and pieces so worth it for me. Current vehicle came with two years warranty and has had a door lock replaced.
The problem with saying that "I have been OK up to now so probably don't need it" is that the likelihood of a problem increases with age and diagnostic costs can be significant too. Having had a few FL2 problems in my time I wouldn't now own one without a LR warranty. In all other aspects of my domestic life I always refuse the extended warranties on washing machine, dishwashers etc 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Burnt the welly

Bought the warranty

May I ask how much? If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Extended warranty is currently £795 or £79.50 per month over 10 months, so your quote is cheap!

Not quite as lucky as you Steve in year one but I also turned it down and I am in year 3 now with no extended warranty. To keep my car on the road to include all the service items, two sets of tyres and a battery plus any failed items so far has costs me about £1,000 pounds a year. So not much more than having the LR warranty each year and on top of that would be all those service items and buying servicing at Land Rover dealer prices.

Yes, I've also replaced the tyres and battery but as others have said, I would have had to pay for those anyway as they are not in the warranty. Servicing will be on top of the warranty and I believe is in the T&C's of the warranty so instead of spending around £500 on a LR service I'll be spending about £120 on quality service parts and doing it myself. I have AA relay so not bothered about the roadside recovery part of the LRA. I have confidence in it as I've had two years with nothing apart from an electrical glitch just after buying it. If I'd have had as much aggro as some, I'd have got rid of it! I did change the Haldex filter and oil recently so I suppose I could say I've spent £80 from my fund but again, I'd have done that anyway. I'm giving it a mid-term oil change but I also did that when I had a service plan too! Next thing is going to be a gearbox flush. All these oils and service parts inc the tyres and battery can be (cough) lost trough work though so not too terrible.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
