Cranks fine but won't start after coldest day
Cancel my previous; check the glow plugs because that sounds a lot like burnt out glow plugs.

Skoda Felicia Pacific 1.8t project
Nice stance mate. I think you'll need to change the springs all round and front dampers for a 1.8t installation, but a few of them have been done.

Mk1 my99 vRS pulling violently
Based on @Silver Bullet advice, top up PAS, swing steering lock to lock several times, then check PAS again and top up some more if needed.

Do you use the climate control all the time? And run the ventilation in through flow rather than recirc?

Boiling water coolant container
It's supposed to be a pressurised system, and you're running it unpressurised. That reduces the apparent boiling point to about 100C, rather than the 115C you'd get with the pressure cap closed.

Skoda Rapid diesel, doesn't slow down much with foot off the pedal - is this normal?

Skoda Scala Suspension
@MortenH Further to the above, the cable ties are securing the rubber bellows units to the dampers.

How do you navigate with Amundsen using iPhone Contacts addresses?
All the post/zip codes except the Italian one contain non-numeric characters (alphabetic or punctuation or both). If I'm about right, possibly a USian zip will work, but nothing containing letters will.

Who makes the fuel tank pump?
Probably because the pump in a specific car would be one of 4 or 5 makes, depending on which one offered the best price for 20_000 fuel pumps that month.

No heating
Yes, and I've usually had a range of manufacturer's recommendations from 25% to 50% antifreeze depending on the low air temperature the car will be exposed to.
