All I would say is, dont take the salesmans word for it as he will make money out of you buying the warrenty. Have a read of the small print.

All I will say is be careful as most claims are limited to say £500.00 per claim. And with labour rates so high you often find it is nowhere near enough. And they make the price higher so you end paying anyway.
