Does anyone know if you can buy a Land Rover warranty for a privately bought FL2 and the procedure involved if you can? |

You can. The vehicle has to be inspected by a LR dealership prior to acceptance. This is at no cost if you buy the warranty through the dealership. MY present car was bought privately and the warranty was bought through Duckworth Market Rasen. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Many thanks for that-I had my doubts too. I am after a manual FL2 HSE without dpf (pre 09) which is a little old for the dealer network now. I have decided to consider private sales to see if I can find what I want. If anyone on here is thinking of selling a manual HSE in the near future I may be interested! |

Cheers Dunkley-you posted your reply whilst I was responding to the first post! I will give my dealer a ring in the morning. |

We've just this afternoon bought an i6 HSE and have spoken to Taggarts Land Rover in Glasgow about putting a warranty on it. In the end we bought one from Guy Salmon in Stockport as they matched the price of the private sale so don't need to any more.

Many thanks for the information David-not as expensive as I thought. My first choice would be a dealer but if I can't at least I definitely know the private/independent is an option. |

Just bought a Warranty Wise fully comp policy via the non franchise dealer I bought the i6 from and paid £660 for 2 years cover, with £7500 claim limit and £120 per hour labour rates

Just by way of a postscript, I've just spoken to an LR service manager who tells me that his warranty claims to ALL aftermarket breakdown providers (WW et al) are "hardly ever settled" and cause him tons of grief. I thought he might at least be kind about one of them but he wasn't forthcoming. His advice was to try and get an LR warranty (after an LR inspection). I appreciate that he may be biased but his main point was that LR rarely quibble about grey areas and try to keep your custom.

I would second that Mando. Land Rover insist you pay up front and then claim it back from the warranty company. My warranty will only pay £40+vat labour rate too. I would always go for the Land Rover warranty personally but, if like me, you end up with a third party warranty find a good independent. |

Yes I would say biased, I have had a warranty payout for transfer box, no quibbles. My indie charges £45/hr and in his opinion the AA warranty is the one he would choose. Mine is not AA nor LR by the way but came as part of the deal with the car. |

Thanks for the comments. I suspect the "grey areas" are where aftermarket customers get a shock. For example: a clutch and flywheel problem - wear and tear on the clutch (to be expected) but the whole claim is disputed. Would LR cough up?
