MFSW/airbag wiring loom
I think it might be 5E0971584A but you should double check... 1K0971584C is probably for the previous generation of cars so is unlikely to work

Octavia vrs mk3 Bulbs - What are the correct bulbs?
As above, they are H16 bulbs. The official method is to remove the front bumper or wheel liner: However, I think they are relatively accessible if you drop the undertray. Some folk also remove the grill from under the fog for access:

Octavia vrs mk3 Bulbs - What are the correct bulbs?
Did you try checking the workshop manuals you mentioned buying previously? Headlights (drivers light??) Fogs:

Performance monitor (sports mode)
You are probably missing the FeC/SWaP licence to enable it. Unfortunately, it's not something you can buy or add with VCDS. Some MIB2/MIB2.5 units can be hacked to add the licence but I don't know if MIB3 units can.

Can you post an autoscan showing the memory module info and ideally the error codes?

Digital Speedometer on Skoda Rapid 2017
I'm not familiar with Rapid spec but there are two likely scenarios: - it's a base spec model without a multifunction display fitted so there are no buttons to control it - the stalks or steering wheel have been incorrectly replaced by a previous owner for buttonless versions I assume your display matches that on the right: You might be able to replace the stalks with the button variety but it'll likely need coding and possibly a new steering wheel controller.

Sinosmart Rear view camera swing+
Please note it is a 5J0...A vs 5E0...B so may not be the same as your unit. That won't help if there is no video input on your headunit. Instead, you'd need something like this which can output directly to the screen: https://www.car-interface.com/vendita/en/interfaces-a-v-video-skoda/1552-video-interface-for-skoda-with-mib2-entry-radio-swing.html Even is that is compatible, given the price, you'd be much better retrofitting a new unit with camera support. That being said, your headunit *might* have the video chip based on this post on drive2 https://www.drive2.ru/c/581210093853345170/ The best/quickest way to check is to open your glovebox unit up and verify manually if the chip exists.

Sinosmart Rear view camera swing+
There are multiple versions of the Swing, some with video chips and some without. That camera and many others will work if the Swing has a video chip: I'm not sure if the 5E0 035 871 A has a video chip but you could check yourself by opening it up. Otherwise, Pab might know.

Sinosmart Rear view camera swing+
It depends if there is a video chip installed: https://www.drive2.ru/l/541345925398790379/ @pab567 might know which 5E0 035 871 versions are RVC compatible

SD card
That sounds like you have a Columbus. If so, I think you can perform the update with a 64GB USB stick or SD card. It doesn't need to be a Skoda specific card and the maps will be copied to the unit during the update. A 32GB might even be large enough Latest version is here:

Display driving data “since start”
Go to "Driving data" then "Overview" and by clicking the right roller, that should change from since start, since refuelling or long term.

How to: Retrofit Virtual Cockpit
@deepshegde - please spend some time and figure out how to perform a backup/export of all the adaption channels from 5F. If you can provide that, we might be able to see something that's wrong...

Update to HBA issue
I can only imagine Skoda are getting confused between high beam assist and matrix headlights.... I've never heard of high beam assist needing a specific headlight, all it does is turn the high/main beam on and off
-
Update to HBA issue
Based on your other threads, you have lane assist. Therefore, the camera is capable of high beam assist, it should just need activating. You don't need anything from Kufatec, you need to find someone local with VCDS or OBDeleven who can check what control modules you have and recode them. In this forum is both a map and a list of members who have VCDS. Based on you mentioning Cornwall, @PetrolDave is probably one of the closest to you...

Coolant light on 3m after service
Just for reference, this is all covered in the owners manual. If you have got one, you can download a copy from: https://manual.skoda-auto.com/210/en-GB/models That's not strictly true. The owners manual clearly states: "If water other than distilled (demineralised) water is used, then have the coolant replaced by a specialist garage - there is a risk of engine damage". If you haven't got distilled water, I'd still with my earlier recommendation of pre-mixed G12 evo from any VAG group dealer. Relevant section from a 2018 version:

Reversing Camera Retrofit
Indeed 😞 In this instance, it would appear 'vehicle specific' just means it will fit in the boot lid hole... Personally, I'm not a fan of the Chinese 'magic' kits like the Sinosmart. I don't trust anything that's recoding modules automatically and some folk have had issues with similar kits failing quite quickly. I would always recommend a genuine highline kit from a reputable seller. Yes it'll need coding but done right, it'll be identical to a factory installed kit. For example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003578483619.html Have a look at this thread for some ideas and pros/cons etc:
-
Coolant light on 3m after service
Yes! If it is loosing coolant then it'll likely overheat and possibly cause permanent engine damage... Coolant tank is circled below. Might be worth ringing local Skoda/Seat/VW/Audi dealers to see if anyone has some premixed G12 evo you can buy today.
-
Coolant light on 3m after service
The coolant light should never come on. Check the coolant level and top up with correctly mixed G12 Evo as required, if the level drops again you likely have a leak. When the AC is on it will dehumidify the air which aids in demisting 👍

Tracking & alignment
Plenty of places will do free alignment checks so it might be worth it for piece of mind.

Tracking & alignment
It depends if you have a rear beam or multi-link suspension at the rear Given the OP has a 4x4, that'll mean they get multi-link and the full range of adjustments.

Reversing Camera Retrofit
The link is for your order so only you can access it Still, at a guess you bought this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175161616367 If so, it'll probably work but.... - you will need to find someone with VCDS or similar to recode your car - the headunit doesn't have an RCA plug so you'll either need an adaptor or to chop it off to put the correct pins/connector on - it should be powered off the reverse lights but it'll likely have interference without a relay kit I'm also not sure what video format a MIB2 headunit expects, maybe someone else can confirm if it's correct.
