Have you had the battery properly tested, including a deep load test?

Is Deailer Ripping me off ?
Absolutely, but not always...

Steering problems
Why? A "PAS failure" is more likely to be a PAS sensor. a flat battery or even a dud alternator.

Is Deailer Ripping me off ?
Ok, do you want them to check exactly what the problem is, or just put a fan speed controller in the parts cannon and hope they've guessed right?

Timing Belt Change
Possible clue in my quote from the OP (boldface)?

2016 superb style radio volume
Which infotainment, and which software version? I suspect it may need an update, but people who know more than I do will need that base data first.

Humming noise
Round black thing, goes between the wheel and the ground. You may have saw-toothing (looks and feels like the name suggests) or an out of round tyre (one wear bar is much nearer to the tread surface than the other 5). That said, maybe the tyre(s) don't know the words?

Pug E-2008 Thoughts & any issues?
Try your nearest John Lewis; that's where I got my last coffee maker.

Headlight Upgrade?? Is it possible
I'm not sure it's possible. and even if it is H7s are a performance downgrade even if they "look more pretty".

Tyre Size Options for Standard Metal Rims
Nothing worth adding to what @Breezy_Pete says except that the 165/70 has a 4mm higher nominal sidewall than the 185/60, and higher sidewalls are definitely wanted from what you're saying.

Coolant Warning / Ongoing Issues
Go somewhere other than your local Skoda main stealer!

Buying Advice
Relevance to a specific question about "who supplies the warranty"? I think "none".

Buying Advice
Are you actually buying a warranty from Kazoo, or are they acting as a broker for "an_insurance_company"?

Recall Takata Airbags (April 2023)
Thanks for the thought, but a recall in one market is not always a recall in another even when both markets use the recalled component(s).

Jerky DSG.....
Not surprised, given the "service" history. It happens. There is no mention of anything more than "inspection" or "interval" services in the history. Why would you think there was more work done? Are VAG dampers made of chocolate these days!? Forget going to a Skoda main stealer for the alignment. Go somewhere with a Hunter rig and a proper reputation for using it right. Well, unless the stealer offers to do it for free.

Problems when accelerating hard.
What scanner are you using and what is the exact error code?
-
"Ignition" dead
The OP made that post in August 2018; they last visited the site some 18 months ago. Do you really expect them to reply, or even have that car?

Brake pads and discs?
Again, please reread your own posts before accusing me of introducing irrelevance.
-
Brake pads and discs?
I refer you to your own posts in this very thread.
-
Car constantly locking itself
What you've done so far proves that the insulation has not broken. It has not tested the individual wires in their sheathes.
-
Brake pads and discs?
That's ok, but the FSIII also uses 256mm or 280mm discs depending on application.

Gears - selection trouble
@LouA666l - @Gazand I are both thinking similarly, and indeed, now thinking that you have probably got a linkage issue. Check the adjustment and if that seems fine, new linkage.

Gears - selection trouble
In which case, has the clutch pedal become any of very high, very low, or very spongy in operation recently? If so, which?

12v Front Socket - Permanently Live?
I've never known an "accessories connector" (cigarette lighter) that wasn't a permanent live.
