What do I do next?

Well after Daytona decided to "forget" to tighten the clutch centre nut during its service, it came off during a ride back to my house, at around 8,000 RPM!!
After having On Yer Bike look at it, they reckon it needs:

A hub,
drum,
housing,
pushrod
plates
clutch cover

The only problem is they reckon that at 14,000 miles these all needed replacing anyway (apart from the cover) and so DUK wont foot the bil (400 quid!!!)l - despite the fact I replaced the hub and pressure plate 3,000 miles ago

Have I got a leg to stand on? (IE was the nut coming off a potentially dangerous event) Is it worth arguing it out with them and Daytona, I am prepared to pay for plates only, as they were nearing the end anyway, but as far as i am concerned a hub spinning freely in the inside of my clutch has caused most of this so-called "wear and tear"
Will post pics of the clutch cover at some point too, its not a pretty sight!

So what do i do?
