Vrs estate aftermarket roof bars?
I use the Thule Wing aero bars - originally purchased for my previous Audi RS4 and I was pleased to find they are also correct for my Octavia III (and also for my intended purchase of a Karoq).

Auto Hold
IIRC Auto Hold needs the car to have EPB, which the Octavia III doesn't have.

What speed in a particular UK counties does one get nicked ?
There are two main reasons for that: 1) to allow for the change in tyre circumference as the tread wears 2) as a cost saving so they don't need different speedo calibrations for every wheel/tyre combination on every variant of a model 5% being the middle of the allowed 10% over reading gives tolerance either way.

It always worth comparing your speedo against a GPS device (e.g. mobile phone with GPS speedo app or GPS speed camera warning device) - both my cars over-read by around 7% on OE wheel/tyre setup (my Citroen C1 only by around 5% on my larger Summer wheel/tyre setup - yes the insurance company are aware).

Can't you slide the roof box on from the side with the non-glued end cap?

Haldex Pump filter blocked.
That's where I was going with my question - i.e. is the recommended oil "fit for purpose"?
-
Haldex Pump filter blocked.
All the filter photos show what appears to be thick and gloopy 'stuff' blocking the filters, what causes this to be formed?

Removing the DPF is an MOT fail in the UK.

Same on other brands - thin almost translucent heating wires.

unfolding mirrors after turning the ignition
That adaptation channel doesn't appear in the 09 on my '05 Octavia 🥴
-
Rear camera - can I change to turn it on when I want?
The P button is to activate "Park Assist" so unlikely just adding the button will work IMHO.
-
unfolding mirrors after turning the ignition
My 2015 Octavia also does the mirror folding on lock/unlock.

Copy Amundsen Satnav Skoda 16Gb SD card to 32Gb
So what is your issue? I thought you were concerned about the small amount of free space on a 16GB SD card? Since the Amundsen requires a genuine Skoda SD card as I see it you have 3 options: 1) work out which files you can leave out - which nobody has done yet and would be trial & error and take some time and experimentation 2) buy a 32GB Skoda SD card - which could be expensive 3) maximise the space usage on your current 16GB Skoda SD card - don't use the clone software, just format using Windows and copy the files (quick, easy and zero cost)

rear door speakers
It very, very unlikely to be wired - the only option I know of that is pre-wired is that VAG vehicles delivered to the USA have the wiring for their satellite radio installed (not relevant in the rest of the world thought!).

Air con regas
There should be a sticker under the bonnet specifying the type and quantity of refrigerant gas to be used.

Copy Amundsen Satnav Skoda 16Gb SD card to 32Gb
Try reformatting the 16GB Skoda SD card to FAT32 but with the cluster size set to 2048 bytes instead of the default - there are thousands of very small files in the map data and with the default cluster size (8096 bytes) a huge amount of the SD card space is wasted.

You don't need to buy/own VCDS yourself, look at this thread on briskoda for VCDS owners near you who will help out for a nominal amount (often beer tokens!) List of VCDS Owners
