You are so bloody lucky... My daughter has had a great view from Lancaster but we e got too much light pollution where we are and I've had too much to drink to drive somewhere dark!
We tried from here on t'Wirral but we're on the Dee side and partway downhill from the sandstone ridge - hence no decent view North plus the usual issues with light pollution. I have seen the Northern Lights in an absolutely spectacular display near Pitlochry some years back but I'd hoped my wife would be able to see them for the first time this time; no luck 😞

Had a bit of a medical do last week, a slight hemorrhagic stroke, which automatically stops me driving for a month at least while tests are being done. Just before I was released from (the excellent stroke unit of) Watford General, I’m told that it might have triggered a provoked seizure - no driving for 6 months.
Bad enough, but yesterday, I’m told that the MRI was inconclusive, and I have to have another. In the meantime, prepare myself for the driving hiatus to be a year. I’m feeling fine, with no real after effects.
Glad you haven't (apparently) suffered any significant damage. I went through the same process some while back but as there were no consequential 'seizures' I was allowed to keep driving throughout the review and cleared thereafter. If I can be of any help dealing with this feel free to PM me.

TFTD: There is a saying that if you get something for free, you should know that you're the product. It was never more true than in the case of Facebook and Gmail and YouTube. You get free social-media services, and you get free funny cat videos. In exchange, you give up the most valuable asset you have, which is your personal data. - Yuval Noah Harari

I believe you're looking for Magic Black, paint code 9910.
You should be able to ask a Skoda dealer to look up the colour code against the registration number and/or the VIN.

That's what I was planning on using. Did he use it through the material or peel it off to get access to the insulation below for the aerosol?
The affected area was hanging off already so he masked off around it, gave the back of the lining a light spray and stuck it back up. He did comment that it is very easy to saturate the material leading to bleedthrough, although I think that bit of knowledge came via his work.

I'll have to ask the SIL which brand of spray he used. IIRC it was a 'trade' brand rather than a retail one.

Our son-in-law used aerosol carpet adhesive on his mk1. Seems to work fine although naturally one has to be careful about overspray.

Parker's valuations (for 140k miles) are:
Private Price£1,900 - £2,520Dealer Price£2,945 - £4,095Based on 140,000 miles with no optional extrasYou would uprate for the lower mileage but a 2k+ uprate feels a little steep. -
Dry with gentle breeze here. What photographers call 'cloudy bright'. Good day to continue the restoration work on the megaladder, upon which more anon.

according to this study of 322 Nigerians, cooking your beans with onions reduces flatulence

Your local Skoda dealer should be able to tell you from the registration number or VIN.
