    IAM video

    That's not "wildly". Rev counter is constant so it's probably a sticky speedo cable

    ford focus rear brakes scraping sound ???

    But you already knew the discs were knackered. You could have a sticking caliper as well but that's probably beyond Kwikfit to change.

    Replacing plastic outside light with Metal type

    Can't you change the internal switch to a fused FCU with RCD built in? You may need a deeper back box. I've had a 150watt PIR security light running off my garage lighting circuit for 20 years and it's never tripped the RCD so it's up to you really.

    I don't think the 2 series are made in Germany . Article in a recent Car Mechanics magazine about them being the BMW no one wants 2nd hand. I think they're front wheel drive.
