  • I have posted this before and still cant remember if it was the AA or the RAC that do one, that was recommended by the daily express ,as being excellent.

    Read the small print before you buy any ,as some are not worth the paper they are written on.

    thanks for that!
  • Hmmmm now I have the RAC warranty, I have tried to claim on it a few times, only to be told "thats not covered"

    - Immobiliser
    - Gear quadrant and selector
    - Built in sat-nav

    Their get out clause is "thats wear and tear, sir"

    My view that on a 6 yr old car mnost things that go wrong will be wear and tear!

    £20/month for nothing.

    My other half used to work for a "car supermarket" and he advises anyone not to bother even considering warranties. As the previous poster says it'll all be down to wear and tear.

    Nissan will negate to tell you that the warranty will probably be with a third party and will not be on the same basis as the manufacturers warranty.
