The two years refers to this, from the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions:
An AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station and Time Capsule are also covered under APP for Apple TV if used with the Covered Equipment and originally purchased by you within two (2) years from the purchase of the Covered Equipment.

Re:Apple Care question about broken MBP

If your graphics card is NVIDIA 8600GT then you are lucky, if you bought your mac less than 2 years ago apple might repair your mac for free because a lot of NVIDIA 8600GT graphics cards are faulty and NVIDIA knew about this and didn't tell anyone, so NVIDIA pays apple for any mac that has a faulty graphics card to fix the mac. If your macbook pro turns on but has a black screen try waiting 30 minutes, or reboot the mac 10-15 times. My macbook pro shows a black screen but it goes away after i reboot it 15 times.
 
You cant get applecare now. However if u used a credit card for purchase, check with them. Here in US mastercard amex etc usually extends mfr warranty by one yr for certain cards. Give it a shot.
 
Take it in. Its the 8600 and im pretty sure they will replace it for free because it is only 18 months old

My MacBook Pro recently died and from doing research on these forums and the rest of the interweb I am sure it is the logic board. My problem is that my MBP is 18 months old and I don't have apple care. My question is can I still buy it even though my comp is out of original warranty, and get it repaired under the new apple care? One of my friends told me I could still get apple care as long as it was still under 2 years since the original purchase date of the MBP, is this true?

All is not lost as you are in the UK - if you can prove that it is a DEFECT in the product and not your fault, Apple still have to correct it under the Sales of Goods act.

The Sale of Goods Act says that your MP3 player (Or MacBook, in your case) must be fit for purpose.
"It must be as described. It must be of satisfactory quality, sufficiently durable, free from any defects," says Dr Christian Twigg-Flesner, a consumer law expert at the University of Hull.
If you've ignored the manufacturer's warnings and have been leaving the player out in direct sunshine and wearing it in the bath, then you probably haven't got much of a case.
But if the player has been lovingly treated and has still conked out that suggests something may have been wrong with it at the very beginning.
It works like this. For the first four-five weeks you have a "right of rejection" - if the item you've bought breaks down, you can demand a refund.
For the next six months, you are entitled to replacement or repair of the goods. It is up to the retailer to prove there was nothing wrong with it if they wish to get out of having to do the work. And then after six months, there is still a duty to replace or repair faulty goods, but the onus is on you, the consumer, to prove that there was something wrong.
And the key time span is six years. That's how long goods may be covered by the Sale of Goods Act. It all depends on what "sufficiently durable" means. If a light bulb goes after 13 months, the consumer is not going to be overly gutted. If their washing machine goes after the same time span they are going to be livid.

If it is the nvidea 8600 gt it will be covered. If it is anything else it wont be.
They cover the 8600 for 3 years from date of purchase with or with out applecare.

The OP already said it was his logic board, not the NVIDEA 8600.
