As with most independant warranties it will be about as much use as a chocolate teapot!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Dave,

My ashtray on my motorbike is very useful for pillions that like to smoke

BTW, hopefully, my 3rd party warranty (not this one) is not useless (but I hope I never need to find out).

I had to find out how good mine was!
I looked at both WarrantyWise and Warranty Direct,

warrantydirect.co.uk

eventually fell for the latter.

After having had quotes, I waited a week then Warranty Direct knocked 30 quid off on a "Special Underwriters New Year Offer" . And they said it could start the day after the dealers warranty expired. They limited mileage though.
Had to claim for timing belt tensioner when having cam belts changed. Left all the biz to the garage and WD.
As with all warranties, servicing receipts needed.

Costs - 258 quid on a 1996 Sport, including wear and tear cover. (274 Warrantywise)

A quote from Warranty Wise for a Turbo was 462 quid

Make sure the car details are correct and the cover is what you want when comparing quotes
