Earlier this year, after dealers warranty ran out on my FL2. I took out a policy with the AA, covering parts and garage cover. Cost about £100.

My diff is on its way out. I'm already an AA member but would it be immoral to upgrade to this cover, give it a week or two and then call the AA out for the noise I have noticed at the rear end of the car and would they pay for it repairing. |

Rear diff repair/replacement would be more than the £500. I presume you can claim that amount towards the repair, but worth checking. |

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I'm curious as to anyone experience with this. I have breakdown assistance with Nationwide so am fully covered for that but it seems to get the parts and garage you have to get the AA as well.

I remember back in the 90's my alternator failed and the AA guy went to a local Lucas dealer about 15 miles away and had it tested then came back with a new one and fitted it. I had to pay for it but no labour charge. How times change. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I would be surprised if they would pay anything towards a diff job, unless it's a breakdown and the car is undriveable. Noisy diffs can go on for thousands of miles. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto 5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE |

It used to be that the car HAD to have broken down and be towed to a garage by an AA patrol. I suspect this is still the case. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Sounds a bit like part of the benefits package I had when I worked for a large IT multinational. If I died in service my wife would collect 4 years salary but if I was travelling at the time it was 7 years worth. I believe that I had to be delivered somewhere by ambulance to collect the extra money. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

I've just gone with AA breakdown cover for the wifes (RCZ), my landy. Got us both covered with home start for £130 all in. Well worth it. Didn't bother with the extra repair cover option, which was offered to me for around £60 each on top.
