It defies all logic getting rid of it, but when have LR's been logical 
Although probably less than 1 in 100 there's a few examples of low mileage 15MY going pop!!
An aftermarket warranty is the most sensible option but they've never been a product I've really trusted.
I know WD get fairly good press on here, but it doesn't take much digging to find lots of bad reports on the web  Discovery 4 HSE

Even at absolute worst and it does go pop a short engine is about £4.5k...and definately not as much as the cost to purchase a newer one! The failures are so rare.... I did 65k in mine in just over two years and it was a stunning car!
Keep it!

I’ve been reading with great interest you guys in UK describing aftermarket warranties.
To best of my knowledge after the warranty period on JLR’s 3 year warranty (covers LR, Jag) runs out there are no aftermarket warranty programs. If you service at an official LR stealer you get one year of road assistance (so they take it to the shop, you get a replacement vehicle, etc.) but that is it. The same applies for other brands, too. Hyundai gives a 5 year warranty and Kia gives 7 years which I think is quite long but it does have some exclusions. The warranty on a Volvo is 2 years.
Here “JLR approved” means car is less than 5 years old and has less than 100000 km on it. For those you get 2 years warranty at purchase time with a 50000 km limit.
What I’m kind of saying is that in the nordics drive discos without warranties and are blissfully unaware of such alternatives 
The non-brand warranties available for used cars are absolutely useless and exclude all expensive things. They tend to be 1 year OR 10000 km or so with an upper coverage limit of 3000 or 5000 eur. You pay 500-800 e for it, though
Just a very different view point on spending money on warranties

1. The S is the basic shape of a D5, lucky if it’s got seats for £46k.
2. The SE doesn’t even have a reversing camera or other essential equipment, to spec this and a couple of other things up is £54k.
3. The HSE is good, but £60k.
Unless your using the Banks money or LRs PCP etc. Then it’s normally too much money to splash out on a motor.
To be fair the gadgets and goodies in a Land Rover are woeful compared to other manufacturers. D3 07 SE - still going strong
D3 07 HSE - gone to car heaven
FL1 - gone to Romania
D3 05 HSE - gone to a divorce diet
D1 V8 manual - gone but not forgotten
RR Classic - gone to car heaven
Jeeps, Lexus, X-trails... Too many to name..

I just bought an F-Type 2 liter, basic model, with some extra's. A friend asked why I didn't buy a Cayman as its base price is a lot less and its faster.
I never consicered buying a Porsche as its related to the beetle, and merely a squashed version of it.. 
But when I listed what goodies evectively come with the car and started adding these on to the Cayman
[ it doesn't even come with cruise control.. ], I stopped when I topped 130k euro's... 
If this is representative for JLR's models, we can not complaint even if its a lot of dosh all together..
