Yes

Warranty Direct.

Google them, plug in your details, go to the very last screen, then cancel out. Within 48hrs they'll call you with a quote probably about 20% lower.

Not worth the money, save £50 a month in premium bonds as I do and when something goes wrong or it needs a service, cash them in.

Depends on the car. most newer cars have ECUs and Turbos and failure of the or the ABS for example could easily run into £1500+.

Id say on an average car you're looking at £250 for the year. £5 a week well spent....

Exactly, they have so many " get out " clauses and small print, mostly they escape paying out by stating that things are " fair wear and tear ".

Save your money.

ECUs can almost always be repaired for less than £200.

Warranties are a waste of money.
