Yahoo changed the way it returns data from Yahoo UK. At the moment,  
finance-quote can't return the fund data in a way that gnucash can  
use. I posted a patch (for finance-quote) to this mailing list a week  
or two ago that might work for you.

Fixing the mutual fund quotes from Yahoo Europe is on the list of  
things to do for finance-quote. They have a new maintainer who seems  
reasonably active, so it might happen in a few weeks.
