Autoquake warranty - what now?

John,
As you will be aware Autoquake has been put into administration.
Last December I bought a Ford Focus from Autoquake, partially comforted by the sight of your smiling face on their paperwork. The car is good, no complaints.

I did however take out a 3-yr warranty for £659 which looked a pretty good deal, until I received a letter from the Administrators.
What is the best way to recover my Warranty fee?

It depends on whether the warranty was insured or was self financed. If insured you should be okay. If self financed, you join Autoquake's creditors.
