I lost funds.ft, too.  It's an occupational hazard, I'm afraid.

I switched to Morningstar, using the details posted here a few days
ago:-

URL: http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/snapshot/snapshot.aspx?id=%1
Symbol: action="/uk/snapshot/snapshot.aspx\?id=(\w+)"
Price: >NAV<[^\d]+[\d/]+[^\d]+(\d+\.\d+)
Date: >NAV<[^\d]+(\d{2}/\d{2}/^d{4})
Date format: %d/%m/%y
Skip HTML stripping: yes

with the edited date also posted:-

Date: >NAV<[^\d]+(\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4})

You'll have to go to the url, then do a lookup for each fund in
turn, note the new symbol suffixed to the url, then edit each fund in
turn.

All good fun, but at least it's free.
