Thanks for that Dave.
I won't use Lincoln, even tho' it's less than 1 mile from my house, or any other Lister's dealership no matter what make of car they have the franchise for. I have been using Hull who have been pretty good. The way their S.M. was talking they won't want to deal with Warranty Direct etc.
Listers Coventry sold me a warranty when I bought the car. It's not Lexus it's Listers own brand which is done through Car Care Plan Ltd. It also includes Lister Assist which is some kind of recovery service. Cost me £800 for 2 years which kicks in in Sept 09.
I have to say, it seems good value but they offered me it over the phone and didn't tell me it was Listers own warranty. Felt a little cheated but I hope not to need it
