Insurance for 1992 200 tdi 130
Hi all,

I have the Disco 3, a V8 535i and my wife's Clio all with Admiral, but trying to add the 130 defender that I'm picking up on Tuesday is proving a challenge!

I think it's down to the classification and description of the vehicle, they are describing it as a "Defender 130 2.5 Crew" on the Gov MOT checker it's described as just a "Land Rover Defender 130". It's first registered in April 1992

I don't have the V5 to confirm as I'm not picking up until Tuesday, any thoughts?

And daft Q, it's a 200 tdi, but is this a 2.5cc engine Embarassed

Cheers
Iggy

It’s worth trying your others with a plan as well, overall my costs came down when I bought RRS and included it with defender with Aplan 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6

Hi Iguana, I've recently bought a 130 myself (High five),td5 though. Just wondering about insurance myself and have had the same issue with them not being able to find the exact description.

I also imported mine from Hong Kong so that's something else for them to scratch their noggins at.

Just wondering what security features etc you mentioned to get such a cheap price? I've had some shocking quotes πŸ˜…

Cheers bud

Hi Tom,

at present my 130 doesn't have any 'proper' security, so nothing I could mention to the insurance company. But it does have a a battery isolator key (Which I remove) and a secret switch.

SO my cheap quote was down to my age (55), lack of any points or claims and probably my location (low crime) .

Mine is likely to go up once the conversion is done, as the value will go up and I will also re-classify from Ambulance to camper - but will do that once the work is all ffinished Thumbs Up Iggy/Ieuan

Thank you for the swift reply,

I had a cutout switch in a bag in my 90 for years and never got around to fitting it whilst I had it. I'll hopefully get it fitted in the new 130 instead.

It ended up being way too expensive for me to get cover, I'm 32 with full no claims, I couldn't believe the quotes they were throwing at me honestly πŸ˜….

I've ended up insuring under my father's name and put me down as a named driver, Β£720 after a bit of nudging.
Apologies for the late reply matey.
