Are you allowed to negotiate with them then?

What happens if they say no? What are your entitlements?

And 91pREluDe, how much did you value it for when you took out your policy?

Have a read through this mate..looks like you need to find evidence of how much an equivalent model would actually cost to buy. And you can try & negotiate based on those findings. ;)
