Warrenty Direct says NO

Just posted in the general section to see if anyone has had any issuse with spare wheel mechanism failing, (still waiting for replies)

Phone warrenty direct up and was told in no uncertain terms this part is NOT covered since we do not cover body parts Question mmm said well its a mechanical part thats failed Evil or Very Mad no no no it is not covered with a firm voice. Censored i though but need to check the policy as working in london and policy booklet at home in leeds, cable is tied up with insulating tape and cable ties, spare wheel is in the boot for now, anyone claimed on this Whistle

in the luxuryCare policy it could be covered :

Quote:
"Miscellaneous
Exhaust gasket, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter,
auxiliary drive belts, brackets, mountings, pipes and
hoses, water ingress, cables other than clutch"


What level care have you got ?

I would say its a spare wheel mounting Thumbs Up

From memory, the replacement doesn't actually cost that much, nor is it difficult to DIY replace, is it worth the hassle.

Thats the thing, i think i have luxury care and until swmbo gets home to check policy i cannot do anything,

Re is it worth the hassel? well if it is covered then yes Exclamation whats the point of me paying £500 for something that i don't use Confused the cost is irrelevant, i have a front bush that has just gone and that is £30ish so lets say on ebay new mechanism is £90 plus postage £7.50 we have

mechanism £97.50
Bush £30.00
Tailgate latch £120.00 failed in April this year

Total £247.50

Thats why it's worth the hassel small things add up so the £500 policy i have paid is now down to £252.50 and i still have seven months cover to go, but thanks for your useful comments Yawn

Yes, had a claim for over £1k and it was dealt with quickly and efficiently by WD. The End

You should read your policyy then.....things arent covered...live with it.

Lol, you come on here complaining when you havent even checked the policy yourself then have the cheek to moan that my info has been unhelpful and give me a yawn emoticon. Least i went on the website and checked the info which you could have done...what a to**er!!

People like you are the reason i reply to very few posts anymore.

Nice attitude Packing Strips Confused

I would have similarly assumed that the wheel winch is covered. It's not bodywork, it's a mechanical part of the car.
It's also not a wheel or a tyre.

That said... I'm not sure I'd spend much of my life fighting it.
