The assessor told me that they will repair my car as cheaply as possible. Pity that their premiums aren't as cheap. When I questioned the insurer on why my premiums were so high for my daily drive they sprouted about the cost of parts etc, then when I make a claim they choose the cheapest option for them.

My advice is to write to them and see what happens if they can't find replacements.
Dont want to put a downer on things but if you read any insurance PDS carefully and especially Just Car, it specifically mentions that they are entitled to source 2nd hand parts.

At the end of the day they are a business, all you can do is push them hard on it.

Sounds like in this instance LegacyRS has helped you get the result your after!
