    Leave their claim against you for your insurer to deal with.

    Your excess is higher than the cost of repairs, so pointless claiming for your own repairs off your own insurance.

    Once their claim against you is concluded, see if a split liability has been agreed , in which case yiu can claim the other side's liability back off them (eg of its 50/50, you claim back 50% of your costs diect from the third party).

    But if you are held 100% to blame, then you will just have to pay all your repair costs yourself.
