all those jobs look dead easy to fix, except the emmissions one. do you have a printout for it?  ideally get the car faults read by vag-com and work from there. can get a vag-com cable for £10 off ebay, just need a laptop to plug it into!

Couple of points...

Shock absorbers should be replaced in pairs.
Emmissions maybe the Lambda sensor itself. ( part actually called oxygen sensor)
