Welcome to OOF   :y

You'll get more help if you post your questions in the Omega General Help section  ;)

But in answer to point 2) - It'll probably be your HBV (Heater Bypass Valve) situated behind the engine to the left of centre - it'll drip ontp gearbox.  PITA to swap - there's a howto on here.

Hi, Welcome to the OOF..  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
