[gadget9]

Some feedback please i just recieved my renewal for my 4.5 cerb insurance the car will have its first birthday at the end of this month. I was insured with the AA it cost £1300 last year the renewal is for £2100 thats for an old bloke of 39 (me) with 10yrs ncb with a tracker and the cars garaged! :-( after taking some advice from here the cheepest quote so far is from peart £874.37 for 6000 miles per year and a car value of £48000 optomistic i know :-) mannings came 3rd withsunnighill a close runner up.
What i really need now is some phone numbers for tvr warrenties as the cars manufacturers warrenty runs out in November i want views on who are the best and actually pay out and cheap would be nice :-)
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as i would like to get this warrenty sorted out asap
THANKS

There was a thread last week on how good, or bad, warranty companies are. Mines with Warranty Holdings, but they wriggled out of paying £1000 max for the clutch which broke, and only paid £323.

What I would recommend to anyone in the AA, is to add 'parts and labour' cover to there breakdown policy. It costs £52 for the year, can claim up to £500 per claim and up to 3 claims per year. It will only pay out however, if you've had to get them out and they cant repair your car and they have to tow it to a garage. If the fault is through part failure, as was the case with my clutch, then they'll pay out. They paid more than Warranty Holdings and I'd only been in it 3 weeks.
They paid £404.

I'd also be interested in an alternative to WH.

Another thing to think about is where you get the warranty from, too... if you get it provided through a dealer, then they can potentially charge their standard hourly rate, whereas getting one separately may mean you're capped to £25ph or something similar for labour costs with you paying the difference.

A dealer may be happier to try and push things through on your warranty if they sold you it, too... Personally, the place that did the last bit of work on my car were VERY helpful - the work wasn't covered by the warranty, but they put it through as something else that was so I got most of the cost covered.

I have tried to buy the AA parts and labour insurance of the AA website. However it says its not available for the Cerbera.

Kojak69 how did you buy yours?

As this seems an excellent way to top up the WH warranty.

I have got the AA warranty on my cerbera. Just bought it via the telephone line about 10mths ago. Havent tried to claim though.
I recently had a new cam and cam followers fitted but as the car was only making a ticking noise rather than broken down I didnt bother trying to claim.

In fact I just called the AA and they confirmed I DO have the PArts and Labour cover on a TVR Cerbera.

Dave (sportie).
When my clutch went, my car was stuck at home. I also knew Joolz was on holiday for a further week and a half, so I added home start to my breakdown cover to enable me to get it down to him, when he got back.It was at this stage, when adding homestart, that they added parts and labour. They told me I could only nominate one car. Guess which car I chose?
