Keep fighting Nige, get hold of the other party's insurance co and make a claim on them directly, then tell your insurance you won't be claiming on them.
You will however, lose your no claims bonus unless it's protected, so make sure you get it back as well from the other insurance company.
You are the injured party and there is no blame attached to you, make sure your insurance know this and repeat it to them often.
