Saftlad - is yours a seven seater? OH had a bit more of a look as we were going out last night, and said that there didn't appear to be a proper place to fit it to - does that sound right for a seven seater, is there some sort of fixing clip that yours came with? I can't check ours now as it's gone to the garage for a bucketload of work doing before we take it away :-(

ST - it's a 57 plate. There is one on ebay but it has a broken fitting, and given that I can't figure out how they would attach, I reckon starting off with a broken one might just cause a whole lot of confusion!!

Thanks all - Saftlad, that cover looks perfect and, after a phone call today, I've discovered that if I nip 15 miles down the road they'll even fit it for me, so that's another job off Mr WR's pre holiday to-do list :-)

And yes, I do agree about accepting the compromise, and now I'm adjusting to my current level of 32mpg around town, I can just about come to terms with it - though I'm starting to worry about just how overexcited I was at getting a steady reading of 40mpg after 60 miles on the M1 (mostly limited to 50mph in roadworks!) yesterday!

Skoda Bob - no, we've only used 6 of the 7 seats so far, mostly cos it's the school holidays.  Have just doublechecked the Caravan Club Outfit Matching and it has the Audi as 108% match for the Corona on kerbweight.
