Just wodenring if any members ahd this and whether they though t it was useful -

Saw http://www.portwood.co.uk/carinsurancemainpage.htm

and was thinking that this pretty much gives peace of mind and is worth the money

Its basically insurance against breaking down - Do they pay up in the event of a claim ? Bet there is a huge excess

What do ya think????

Sounds to me just like a warranty.... After a few recommendations from another forum, I've taken out a policy with WarrantyDirect. Covers pretty much everything on the car (including wear and tear items!) and was very reasonably priced. Now I'm in the dilemma that I want the car to break so I can get my money's worth!

Throw some sand into the air intake, Chris. Should do the job.

Desert sand? Won't that just make it faster?

I was hoping my driving style would be enough, but then I remembered these cars are rep mobiles

I looked at WarrantyDirect for my previous car and was tempted. However in the end I sold the car instead! They do cover wear-and-tear items but you are expected to contribute more and more as you cars mileage increases (up tp 50% of the cost I think?).

When my 1 year old furby reaches 3 I will almost certainly get some sort of extended warranty. I do quite a lot of miles each year so the

10% of the cost of parts after 60k (labour is covered). Think 100k is the next benchmark, but I doubt I'll have the car by then I got a quote online and then the chap who I spoke to started chucking in upgrades on all the options to sweeten the deal! Just waiting for the policy documents so I can make sure it hasn't been mis-sold!

Let me guess - they wont cover modified cars ?

They will but they won't cover modified parts Depending on how it's worded, the car may be returned to standard

Idon't think that they cover any diagnosis time, so you will still have to pay for interrogating control units for faults and any disassambly of parts.

No - That doesnt sound right

The level of cover I opted for they will if the person who looks at it decides that it's a "warranty" fault, so either wear and tear or manufacturing defect (which covers most of the likely problems!)...

Portwood have insurance for 80 for the year backed by Axa.

For that price I think you cant go wrong!! Just for peace of mind

Just read the small print and make sure they cover what you think they're covering! A lot of aftermarket warranties are pants! :(
