Hi, i'm hoping to do an undercarriage checks for losse parts as the last time i did ws 50k ago. any recommendations? or any ws would do it?

Does the former affect the latter? I'm not sure if it's because i changed my front tyres, or because my mech tightened my hand brake, but now when i brake into a corner and flick my wheel, my rear end swings out MUCH more readily. macam i corner with handbrake 2/3rds up . damn fun for my normal driving in the dry , but it means i cannot push my luck too much, and gotta be damn careful in the wet. in any case, in the wet, i do all my braking BEFORE the corners, then accelerate gently (usually. step harder just means more understeer ) on the way out. i read somewhere before tt front/rear brake bias can be adjusted (for cars without EBD at least. not sure for those with EBD whether can do or not) but is that linked with hand brake "tightness"? front tyre potenza g3, while rear tyres are RS2. both are quite sticky but the g3 seems like it has a slightly wider footprint even though same size as the rear tyres. RS2 is reputed to be much grippier though, so i'm wondering what gives... my car is a getz. front wheel drive of course. running BC coilovers set at softest setting, front feels somewhat softer than the rear, but no understeer with previous tyre combination (louya front with RS2 rear)

hi, quite embarrassed to admit this, but this is what i encountered due to my carelessness... sunday top up the water for my engine via radiator cap, but somehow did not tighten the cap fully.. yesterday, on the way back from work, after abt 15km, felt the car vibrate suddenly and air-con not cold while at a traffic stop. as i drove on, started to hear this "tak tak tak" sound which got louder as i pressed harder on the accelerator and went up the slope at my MSCP. luckily, managed to make it back to my carpark. opened the bonnet and saw, horror of horrors, the whitish liquid splashed onto the engine cover. later, after the engine cooled down, topped up the water to full again. today drove the car, sounds and feels ok to me. question is, would there be any damage to the engine?
