    WD call me whenever I put through a quote on their website to see why I havent taken it up (I'm just being curious to see how much they are). I would have thought the phone call would also be them lowering the price to try and entice you in? Or is it just a sales call and the price on the web is what you'll be paying regardless?

    T&Cs weren't on the website (and google didn't want to find them).

    I had a read through them last night and a lot of things not covered, but turbo is and power steering is, as are things like oil pumps water pumps etc.

    Doesn't really cover as much as I had hoped, but honestly if anything goes and I didn't take it out, I would be gutted.

    Gonna fork out and play it safe.

    have a look at the price from one from warrantydirect.co.uk - they're a fairly well-rated company (and the cover is normally very comprehensive)
