Cheapest would probably be a breakers. Nut cover removal tool etc. can be sourced from Amazon or the 'Bay. Rather than packing an impact wrench, why not get a breaker bar and socket - or one of the extending type wheel braces?

When to replace battery?
Warrior193 replied to CheersDrive's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Actual manufacturer of battery is not critical information - EFB or AGM, capacity in AHs, and a minor change to the existing serial number sequence (to tell battery monitoring unit that the battery has been replaced) are all that is necessary. -
OP had lost a key - so no key available to swap out parts.

Coil pack(s) Fabia 1.2htp, possible failure?
Warrior193 replied to Ljuba's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk II (2007-2014)
Hello, I'd suggest pulling the plugs and check their condition and gap first. Use a proper coil pack extractor so as to not damage them when removing. -
Why doesn't my non-digital speedometer show 30 mph
Warrior193 replied to gumdrop's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk IV (2021 > )
All speedometers in UK have a statutory requirement to overread - you will be perfectly OK to use the 50 KPH mark on the dial. -
Try Google Translate. I just ran some Polish instructions for a new lawnmower and it worked surprisingly well for me.

Long list of fault codes detected
Warrior193 replied to Fwb1408's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Resting voltage (after all vehicle modules have gone to sleep) should be minimum 12.2 to 12.5 volts unloaded, but you really need to test with a proper battery tester and with the battery at full charge - or with a multimeter while the engine is being cranked-over, where the terminal voltage should not drop lower than a minimum of 10 to 11 volts. You should note that normal battery State of Charge (SOC) will usually be only approx. 75% due to the way the smart alternator operates to allow recuperative battery charging. -

Also strongly suggest that you get the battery tested. -
When to replace battery?
Warrior193 replied to CheersDrive's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
With mostly short trips, the smart alternator control unit limiting battery SOC to around 75% max. can become an issue - you don't normally get sufficient energy recuperation to maintain a decent SOC. To prevent excessive hard sulphation and ensure a reasonable battery lifespan, an occasional recharge or longer run should be considered. -

Stalling, and no codes...at a loss

Thanks for reporting back, was the crank sensor replaced on this latest dealer visit - and how is it running now? -
Assuming that you have had the Kamiq from new, this pipe was never fitted?

What is the tread depth over 75% of tyre? Is the scrubbing on the inside edge? if depth getting close to 3mm, I'd say replace for confidence.
