Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

/I A mechanical breakdown insurance which covers vehicles up to 10 years old has been introduced by Plymouth-based Practical Warranties.

It charges a flat rate of £365 for vans through to 38-tonners for £1,250 of repair cover in six months. The Plan 10 Warranty covers the engine, manual transmission, rear axles and the propshaft — but does not insure the clutch or the engine cooling system.
