Extended warranty won't pay for repairs - what are my options?

My son exchanged his Peugeot for a three year old diesel version, along with extended warranty. Last week the car suffered a burst a steel injector fuel pipe and the car was recovered by the RAC. My son returned to the dealer with the car, but was told the item wasn’t covered as part of the warranty. Is this a common problem with extended warranties?

We hear a lot of this of extended warranties. Read the documentation you were given and check to see if the injector was specifically excluded or not. If excluded, then try suing the dealer who supplied the warranty because the warranty was "not of satisfactory quality."
