Yep - prices as above - PLUS £50 excess if you use the MOT insurance.
My concern is the ever decreasing list of what is covered - and the fact that after 10 years the warranty cant be extended at any price, presumably because it is all going to fall to bits.
So, is it better to put £2 a day into an old coffee jar?A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Not even an offer if you by 2 or 3 years in advance.
If you are considering this, beware that whilst you can extend the Approved Warranty for 1, 2 or 3 years at the outset, and then exceed the mileage threshold, once you exceed the threshold you will not be able to extend the policy.Currently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE

DC I'm on my second year of using LR EW in my opinion we'll worth the money.
I bought the top package with no limits and inclusive of LR Assistance,
last year got my money and more back if I compared what I would have spent on parts and labour and also used the LRA for the courtesy car benefit
Dealership never queried any repair or fault and did everything that was required when needed.
Well worth it if any thing just for the peace of mind

warranties. Thanks to them, I phoned my main dealer.
As a result, I'm know awaiting the figures to buy a new D4. Man maths are looking good so far, but it will need to be a cracking deal

Just about to extend the LR warranty at a cost of £1060/year and the website states that LRA is provided by the AA and includes:
- Roadside Assistance and Homecover in the UK
- Roadside Assistance and Recovery in Europe
- Accident Services to assist you following a road traffic accident
Has the AA always provided LRA? I ask because, while we was a very nice man , the guy that came out to me when my EPB failed was driving a Discovery and wearing LR badged clothing and not a yellow van and hi-vis jackets!Front Runner Rack, OEM Ladder & RAI, Tuff-Trek Foxwing, B'rakhah Ingonyama Expedition Trailer, RLD's Spare Wheel Protector, Bodsy's Bars, Empty Pockets!

LR Warranty is NOT LR, make sure you know what you are paying all that extra money for, I have Waranty Direct Luxury care and it is far superior but doesn't use the name LR
I appreciate that warranties aren't always provided by manufacturers but, having read through so many threads on the forum about extended warranties and LR v WD, I'm prepared to take my chances with the LR (Car Care Plan Ltd) one on this occasion.
Was just wondering what to expect if/when the next LRA is required?Front Runner Rack, OEM Ladder & RAI, Tuff-Trek Foxwing, B'rakhah Ingonyama Expedition Trailer, RLD's Spare Wheel Protector, Bodsy's Bars, Empty Pockets! Member of Gloucestershire & Worcestershire 4x4 Response.

Expect what it is, a subbed out service i.e. AA man, same as you would buy yourself hundreds of pounds cheaper so in fact not LRA at all, just a warranty with a plain normal recovery added on (but with a fancy name )
On the phone to WD as I type. He has me on hold so he can speak to his mngr to get a discount...essentially what he's doing is having a cuppa and making me wait to think he's pushing a dealFront Runner Rack, OEM Ladder & RAI, Tuff-Trek Foxwing, B'rakhah Ingonyama Expedition Trailer, RLD's Spare Wheel Protector, Bodsy's Bars, Empty Pockets!

Oh! get a quote for 3yrs as well, and see what they offer, thats what I got at a great price
Extra Care reduced from £1012 to £799 all while he was having a cuppa and catching up on last night's footie results (were there any ) while I was on hold. He also threw in one month free and emissions/airbags and in-car entertainment (inc. SatNav) cover.
When quizzed about why those two late entry covers aren't already included as standard..."because not everyone has them"!
Argh, what to do. I know £300 is a big saving but...

Read the Warranty Direct policy.
My 3 year LR warranty ended in April and Warranty Direct offered me a good deal on the best LuxuryCare with all the added extras which you can only negotiate on the phone.
The impression they give is that everything is covered. But even the best LuxuryCare policy has a load of items not covered.
And clarify if they cover vehicles used off-road, as the policy says they don't (how they would prove it was I don't know though).
In the end I did a spreadsheet comparing Warranty Direct and LR (Car Care Plan), and went with LR.
And I claimed on it last week - dealer did the paperwork, nothing to sign, nothing to pay in advance, no cheque to wait on - just dropped the car off and picked it up repaired.
