That doesn't sound like a bad deal TBH. PM Davey_2 to get a quote, as he works for a Honda dealer and is very competitive on warranties.

Well worth it IMO, if you're not going to mod your car. Remeber a new engine will set you back

How about if you ARE intending to mod? My warranty will expire in June and, while I'd like to extend it to cover the expensive bits, as you say, I also want to swap out the exhaust, air filter, maybe lower it, put 17s on etc. Nothing huge and nothing really engine based though.

I'd speak to Davey or a dealer to clarify the position. But IME if a warranty company can get out of paying out they will, they are insurance companies after all.

AFAIK it only applies if the fault being claimed for under warranty is directly attributed to the mod.

That's the kicker though - if you get a K&N filter, for example, they could claim that any faults that develop with the engine were down to a non-standard filter and crap getting in.
