Had the RX about a year now and the 12 month warranty needs renewing. The company I was with has gone bust and RAC Mechanical Insurance Services Ltd has taken over.
Problem - they claim only to provide warranty for cars 10 years and mine is a \'94.
The recent compression test showed the engine was \'tired\' - all between 5 and 6, so want to play safe and get warranty.
Anyone got any advice for best companies and if they have had a payout based on mechanical failure i.e. rebuild (I know they will only pay the first £1k or so).
Thanks

Warranty\'s won\'t cover wear and tear.
If the engine does go, you\'re likely to spend alot of time arguing this with the warranty company.
Yep, repeat wear and tear on a tired engine is not covered, they ain\'t daft
I speak from experience
Thanks for the replies - what a bummer :mad:
Also not the info I was given when I bought the car
Better start saving...........
Q - with this in mind, how many of the bother with warranty?
Thanks
Tailz
I was told when I bought my car that the Gold Warrnaty cover etc etc would cover a rebuild
Then I found out the claim limit was 1k
Then I found out 1k wouldn\'t cover a rebuild and also the warranty specifically didn\'t cover it anyway
Honest Bloke that garage chap !
