Thicker cover

What is your view on 'warranties'? I have just bought a car that carries a warranty for 12 months. I have been offered an 'extension' for another year at £150 but would like more convincing before |I buy. Is there a 'stand out' alternative on offer?

Read the list of what is covered. The only warranty insurer I recommend is www.warrantydirect.co.uk , but they offer five different levels of warranty (you get what you pay for) and only partial cover for the first 90 days to cover themselves against fraudulent claims for problems already existing with the car.
