Ok, I have been having problems with my C2 for a number of years, I have had it looked at by both citroen and indie garages and none seems to know the fix and I have hit the limit of what I can spend without a real fix. (The problems are that the car keeps telling me it's overheating and the standard running temp is lower than it should be and it seems to think I have a child seat and I should turn my air bag off, I have have had the engine temp sensor changed numerous times so I'm pretty sure it's not that but citroen are now saying it could be the ECU which is £800 to replace and I can't afford if it's not sure to fix it.)

Now I have often seen the tv adverts and thought maybe it would be a good idea to let someone else pay for all the attempts untill it works? Si I have just put a quote through and to have a 12 month warrenty that covers what seems like everything is £350, and that says it covers both parts and labour via the franchised dealer.

Has anyone had any experience with Warrenty Direct and know of something I'm overlooking or does it seem to you as good an idea as it does to me?

Anyway, any advice would be nice.

Thanks

Liam

makes sense I can't get covered for an existing fault but I can't find anything about not being able to do this on their website, hence asking if I was missing something, I would inform them of the fault when requesting quotes so if they said I could claim on it then I would but I'd assume they wouldn't let me in which case I wouldn't take it out. I know the garages know about my problems the Citroen garage and I are on a first name basis they have spent so long trying to fix it.

Thanks
