I would like to pass on a word of warning after a rejected claim from Warranty Wise. During a routine service on my Range Rover I was informed that there was a rattle coming from the supercharger and that it was likely that the bearings had failed. I contacted Warranty Wise who said that I needed to instruct the garage to investigate at my own cost and they would then send an engineer out to inspect it. Once dismantled the unit when shaken rattled and there was visible evidence of the rotors touching the casing. Left this condition could have resulted in a total engine failure. The engineer who attended after waiting 2 days stated that there after 100,000 miles this was in line with wear and tear and that the unit had not actually failed. After some research contacting Land Rover UK, my local franchised Dealer and a company specialising in the Eaton M112 supercharger it became apparent that this was not a common problem and in fact I have yet to find anyone who has experienced this. This includes searching all of the land rover forums. Based on the way Warranty Wise work it would appear they try to reject any claim levelled at them. It seems very easy for then to put any failure down to "wear and tear" especially on an older vehicle with higher mileage. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if this condition had been left to worsen and taken out the engine? After this I would recommend it may be better to put the money you were planning on spending into a bank account and using that if anything goes wrong.
