Do most people here go for the standard or select extended warranty? As far as I can see the only difference is the 3k claim limit with the select warranty

Apart from the obvious of major engine work, what other issues could be more than 3k? Has anyone had a replacement engine under warranty?

I suppose I should just bite the bullet and go for the full warranty but a donation to her majesty this morning is smarting a bit šŸ˜Ÿ

It's surprising how much is excluded from the select warranty when it's not much cheaper.

Who knows what the future holds, but I was glad to go for the full warranty when it covered a replacement engine at Ā£15k.
Extreme example of course, but itā€™s also covered a water pump, Y pipe under the supercharger, rising centre vent, supercharger snout, and 3x injector failures.
Iā€™m not usually one for taking out warranties but, having experience JLR ā€œqualityā€ with an early XE Iā€™m glad I didnā€™t gamble.

Well now you mention it scm, thatā€™s a better way of looking at it yes šŸ˜¬
Apologies if I single-handedly forced JLR to ditch their 2 year warranty on used approved cars!

Well that has well and truly pissed me off. Phoned to renew because I have changed the plate and they want Ā£100 more than they quoted by post which I suspect is them trying to recover part of the cost of the air vent fix which went through after the renewal quote. I'm tempted to look at the RAC warranty, has anyone had a good experience with it? We have a good Independent in Swindon so not sure that I really need the ridiculous dealer hourly rates to be covered.

Sorry to hear that.
Iā€™ve got the RAC platinum warranty and Iā€™ve got to say it appears to cover catastrophic failure in the main such as engine, gearbox, diff and some other mechanical and electrical pieces but everything else is excluded. I certainly wouldnā€™t have paid for it but I negotiated it when purchasing the car.

Might be worth checking the t&cā€™s to see if youā€™re comfortable with the level of cover vs the Jag warranty

Have a look at Warrantywise (Quentin Wilsonā€™s creation). I had a quote from them of Ā£2100 which covered me for 38 months. Ā£10k single claim limit, unlimited claims, seems to cover most things and very surprisingly covered some wear and tear items such as brake discs. The other important factor to bear in mind is labour rates. A lot of the quotes Iā€™ve had were looking promising until you find out that they only pay up to Ā£60 (eg) an hour labourā€¦. My dealer is Ā£180 an hour! Warrantywise will cover up to Ā£200 an hour. The plans they have online are only an indication of what is on offer, I got a call back from them after ditching my quote mid way as I didnā€™t think it was going to be any good. But, because our cars are ā€˜specialistā€™ and often lower miles, they open up other parts of their plan for us. I havenā€™t committed to their plan yet (as Iā€™m not due till Mar) but my slight concern with them is some negative reviews online. The major review sites seem pretty reasonable but thereā€™s one online that seems to slate them. Interested to hear from anyone on here thatā€™s also with them and can give some lived experience?

Sorry to hijack the thread but I've got a question regarding Jaguars warranty as I've still got my warranty cover from when I purchased the car last year. My situation is that one of the rear license plate lights has suddenly died and it looked like there was a slight haze in the light itself. Condensation maybe with the sudden turn of the weather? I've found old threads saying they were replaced under warranty but what manufacturers will and won't cover under warranty changes a lot.

Would this be replaceable under warranty?

Just visit your dealer and complain about it. See what they say.
