July 2010 1.4 SE: Fuse Layout

(I don't believe I'm the first to ask this, but a Search hasn't pulled out any relevant post)

Does anybody have the fuse layouts for this model?

We have just traded in our 1998 Polo for a Mark V SE DSG with just 14,000m on the clock after 4 years. So all good so far . . .

When the Mark III rear seat squabs were folded up vertically, they were protected on the underside by a metal plate. This Mark V has no such plate - just the seat foam ...
