Skoda karoq seat panel
You could try gentle application of heat with a heat gun... I've done that before on a honda civic and it worked wonders

Remove inner rear lights
My guess is it will be the same as other skoda... So there will be two small rectangular covers on the interior hatch trim that can be popped off to reveal three nuts. Undo those and the light unit should come off.

Deactivate alarm
Yes it does both and works fine on our Kodiaq which we regularly use on ferries to and from Belfast. One thing to be wary of though is that it automatically resets both to 'on' when you next unlock. So if you lock the car on the ferry and then realise you've forgotten something and unlock and open the car to get it you'll need to turn the ignition on and untick the box again...

Mirror parts
Try looking here (you might need to adjust year etc. for your car https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/SUP/851/8/857/857041 It looks like it comes with the motor so it might be cheaper to source a second hand motor and butcher that for the part.

Advice for abandoned 4x4
Might be worth checking the propshaft couplings but at that low mileage they're probably ok. You'll soon hear if not as there'll be a drone at 2300rpm in top gear.

Mirror parts
From memory the glass comes with that part attached or at least can do something you can manage without the part number... Edit... Or is that the part on the mirror motor that the glass fits onto??

Self levelling rear lights? MOT failure.
Might be worth having a look underneath and seeing if it's just seized up or stiff.

Insurance Policy Specifying Annual Mileage
I have had limited mileage policies on the MX5 for ages... There is usually a tolerance of a few hundred mes but some insurers also look at the average over the past few years so if your under one year you can go over the next. They sometimes ask re odometer mileage but also often look at MOT records

hydrogen powered cars
There are certainly no issues with onboard storage of hydrogen in vehicles these days... Kevlar tanks and the like are far safer than normal petrol tanks.

Why ford, Whhhyyyy??
In what way other than the early nylon cam gear and oil pump drive issues? Both were resolved via modified parts resulting in a pretty reliable engine that was used by a multitude of other low volume manufacturers.

Why ford, Whhhyyyy??
The Capri may not have been much cop but it did at least have some style and the Essex and Cologne V6s sounded lovely. Looking closely the new one does have some styling elements from the old one... Such as rear side window line and bonnet profile but I agree they should have used a new name.

DieselMontes BarnFind Subaru Justy
I'm pretty certain they'll be spots as most jap cars of that age had them in a 'pod' under the bumper and I recall a similar grille with spots being available for my 1990 Mitsubishi Colt.

Good shout on the Ignis... Same platform as the swift and I'd forgotten about them...

Octavia Scout 2011 vibrations.
There's another flexible doughnut coupling at the front near the gearbox. Did you check that?

Plate holders
You shouldn't need to drill the tailgate as there are usually already blind rivnuts in place to hold the plate

Superb iV TCS / ABS / Engine dying
That sounds more like a duff battery or loose battery connection to me!

Bah! Engine management light on!
At a guess you've got a knackered glow plug that isn't heating at all... Based on the assumption that the ECU monitors current draw and hence can tell if it's open circuit and not heating (hence static)?? If you can get at them you can measure the resistance across them between the contact and the engine block to check.
