Has anybody any comments or advice to make about extended warranty insurance. My used 'van came with a year's warranty of this sort included and now the dealer is asking if I want to renew this at a cost of £300.00 for a year. 'Van is 2.8JTD Ducato 02 reg. @10,000 miles. Any views would be welcome. Thanks.

Sounds a bit extortionate to me. I believe Brownhills Gold warranty is in the region of £200 for a year and you get a cheaper 'year rate' if you do it for 2 or 3 years. As far as I know there's no reason for you to stick with the same dealer so it might be worth giving some others a ring round.

And you must also check the small print. Many of these insurance backed warranties have very curious definitions of what they exclude as 'fair wear and tear'. One I was offered was not worth the paper it was printed on (in a very tiny font!).
