good BF learning to take care of GF's new-to-us 2008 Roomster 3 1.6 for weekend climbing trips
I don't know about SW Larndarn, but it is/was possible to find secondary schools and/or FE colleges in most of the UK that ran car maintenance evening classes.

Help Diagnosing an AC issue
Well, that makes me suspect a leaky condenser, but I can't be certain without knowing what pressure you're getting in test conditions. Your service manual table is meaningless unless the system is in the correct test condition when the pressure is measured.

Help please… misfire detected
MBF - You can get error codes which don't also throw warning lights.

Power steering falt when starting the engine
Wrong! Impedance refers to how easy (hard) it is to pass a current through a cable (or indeed a wire), regardless of whether it is alternating, direct, or indeed 3-phase current.

According to BBC website, this was "not a mistake".

“Lost satellite reception”
That makes sense. Tall buildings (relative term; 3 or 4 stories a few feet from the carriageway can be tall) can also do this.

Brand new Scala SOS emergency call fault
In other words, Skoda have been "simply clever" and fitted cars with a technology that simply doesn't exist everywhere.

Rear Shock
If you don't have weight on wheels you can put an unneeded torque into the lower damper bush.

Remote fob stopped working.......
I'd try resyncing first, as being way cheaper.

“Lost satellite reception”
I see you're fae Embra. Furry boots do these signal loses happen? I've got an idea what it may be but I need to know where it happens first.

Air con query Citigo
As @freemansteve says, it's probably a fuse or a pulled connection. If the CitiGo is like other VAG cars, some of the fuses are just above the battery rather than in the dashboard fusebox.

SUPERB 2.0TSI Induction Kit 3T
I'd guess this is because Ramair look badly at their staff saying "because it doesn't sell" or even "because it doesn't work" to prospective customers.
-
Rear Shock
Well, I've never done this, but it is necessary to have weight on wheels before torqueing the lower damper bolt.

Ran over a truck tyre
It's also possible that you have internal damage to one or both RH tyre carcasses. Being certain whether you do or not requires unmounting the tyres and doing an internal inspection.

AZF hatchback from 2001 1.4 MPi 60CP - gas smell in the cabin, rear water leak and air vents issues
No idea what this even means. The catalytic converter is a platinum/rhodium alloy deposited on a breathable ceramic matrix, isn't coming out the exhaust easily, and if removed will fail a UK MoT on emissions. Actually, so will failed lambda sensors.

Oil (blue) smoke after long coasting / leaking fuel pump/tank
Like @sepulchrave I'm pretty sure this is oil being sucked past the inlet valve stem oil seals on overrun.
-
Front discs noisy
Yes and quite possibly. Probably the bit where copper grease goes on the pad back plates, between the back plate and the caliper/piston.
-
Front discs noisy
Yes No.

Skoda Kushaq
According to Wikipedia, discontinued in 2014.

Speed camera warning request.
Somehow I don't believe that you do know the speed limit at all times, since you didn't know that a speed limit can change without the new limit being signposted. (Hint, the existence or otherwise of a 30mph limit is dependent on the existence or otherwise of lamp posts, and on their separation where they exist).

Cherished number: dealership using number plate for 'free' advertising
That's not going to stop someone drilling a (plastic) front bumper.
-
Speed camera warning request.
Do you know what the speed limit is at all times? Did you know that the speed limit on a road can change without the change being signposted?

Well, Stomil I have heard of.

Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo 2017 - Tyres + TPMS?
Also @Aviii Er "Kormoran" is German for "Cormorant". Odd name for a French company to use.
