Emissions high
@goa200d What are the actual emissions figures, not just the numbers?

Digital directions sign.
Only example I even know of.

Ideas for a ‘stealth’ TDI 2.0?
@BlackEdDSG - Well, you could repaint it with genuine Lockheed "ironball" paint like on the SR-71...

changing oil spec
@conniebell - Actually, @Wino has raised a very important point. Is your car a PD? If so it will have a badge TDi on the boot.

1.6 Greenline - Car feels generally heavier, weaker
Ah that would explain it a bit; I tend to minimise the amount of steering I do at parking speed.

Email server set up questions.
That's Ok; my suggestion was to set up a backup system, not a mail server. See Backup for further information.

3rd gear whining within certain rpm range
If it's only making the noise in one gear, I'd think it's most likely that gear. The layshaft bearings will be common to 2 or 3 gears so you should get the noise in other gear(s) if it were them.

1.6 Greenline - Car feels generally heavier, weaker
No, I meant what I said, and have driven a Citroen Xantia back to back to back with a Vectra and an Octavia (the Vectra and Octavia on the same roads at that). The Vectra was light and feel-free to the point of feeling anaesthetised, which criticism I would not level at the other two.

Is the headliner the same in the Fabia estate?
The rear roofline of the hatch is different to the estate, and the headliner is moulded, so not a chance.

70 Plate Kodiaq - rear discs and pads needed.... do you think this is reasonable? Replacement discs + pads <6k miles
That's not impossible; I'd really want to see photos before commenting in a particular case though.

Mysterious knocking
@Sambcfc46 - Not sure, but I really don't understand why you didn't have the timing belt done when it was off anyway for the camshaft change.

Octaivia over heating
Water pump, since some "simply clever" 'sole made it do the job of both a water pump and a thermostat.

Email server set up questions.
The obvious answer to this is to set up, use, and check a multi-generation backup and archive system.

Alternatively; to suck power back out of the batteries as quickly as possible.

Rim Interchangeability
It's the same stud pattern and centre bore, but may be a different width and/or offset. The full dimensions of an OEM wheel will be cast (aluminium alloy) or stamped (mild steel) into the wheel.

Tinny sounding tweeters
They're tweeters; listened to in isolation they're bound to sound shrill and tinny. Assuming you can adjust them like this, try setting more bass and/or less treble.

Warning light
Ask a local minicab firm if they can recommend a garage that does full DPFectomies.
-
Loud engine buzz cabin
My first thought in this sort of position would be that maybe the exhaust is making contact with the bodywork.

The Wikipedia makes a good place to start.

MPG keeps dropping

I have only one thing to say to this premise.

So what he's actually saying is that charging an EV incurs a 600Wh power loss?
