But Section 4 about Parents' details does ask for the full name, town, country, date of birth and date of marriage of your grandparents if both parents were born abroad. Grandparents' names are ok but who knows their date of birth and date of marriage? Don't know why they need these informations.

Yes, the instructions are pretty unclear. However, the FAQ says that these details are not needed, and a lot of people here have succeeded without supplying them, including my wife. For example, see
