If what you say is correct, It will be something simple, like an insurance claims handler (Depending on insurance company, some solicitors have to take instructions from the insurers) on the other side not willing to overrule their client and deal with your claim in full.

But if the third party insurers feel their own client is at fault, would they not agree to deal with the OP claim on a without prejudice basis, in order to save on costs? That is what we would do.

I don't understand how they have based their dispute on their insureds version of events . And midway they tried to change driver details.? . So what happened ? The original driver gave a statement of his version and then decided oh it wasn't actually him who was driving? .

I think they'd be mad to go to court personally. We have photos of the driver in the driver seat at the scene of the accident .

Those are questions you need to pose to your solicitor. You don't seem to have any idea on what is going on with your claim, so you need to speak with your solicitor and ask them what has happened, and why.

The next step is that it will go to court in October, unless the third party insurers either admit liability, or to deal with your claim.

That is what most would do.

You still get the occasional cases where the client complains enough about their "no claims bonus" and assuming its a fixed costs case then the insurer will let them have their day in Court.
