Been told the prices for insuring a defender are way cheaper than a disco, is this true?

Depends on who you are, your age, driving history etc. But generally I have found that it was about the same to insure my Discovery and then my 110. Maybe slightly cheaper, but only about £10 at most.
But at £120ish fully comp I ain't going to argue!

Bought a 2002 Disco in 2013 .. from a car dealer off Autotrader and despite spending £4,500 replacing both gearboxes , drive shafts ,springs etc the list has been endless . Decided to cut my losses and advertised it on Ebay .. sold to someone for £2,000 but this guy had more sense than me .he HPIed the car and discovered that it's a cat D write off and it happened in Spain . The car has more disguises than Scaramouch . It's the worst car that I have ever owned in thirty three years of motoring. I am going to do one of two things with it .. cut it up for spares .. so watch out for a new gearbox .over drive box engine etc or get it sign written warning the public why they are called 4 x4 .. because they are four times the price of everything else to repair !!

This is something I have never understood maybe somebody could enlighten me. Why did your original insurer not pick the cat D, I accept this was in Spain but if it is the insurers who decide if a vehicle is written off or not and what cat then surely this should show up on their computer for the next insurer or don't they talk to each other.
