check your lower arm bushes and so on for item no 1 .... also perhaps if budget permits change those spring as your tyre size seems to be wider and running on standaard springs ...

2) low in water ....firstly change your radiator cap ....if still persist then check all the hoses condition , leaks and so on ..
changing radiator cap is the cheapest solution ....

The situation you have with your car while driving is called tramlining. Go google it to understand further.
Many ways to minimize it, check on your bushings, ARB bushings, tie rods, steering rack, steering coupling, stabilizer rods, etc. Go have your alignment done after checking all these, if problem still persists after all these come join us for a cuppa & bring a tape recorder along

Change the whole expansion tank, check for leaks on the radiator. Also check on your engine fan to see if it is working allright.

welcome to the club bro. hope enjoy ur stay here

What size rims and tires are you using? On smaller rims (15" or 16") you can play around with the tire pressure to minimize the effects of tramlining.

The wider your rims are the more apparent the effects will be. It's unavoidable no matter what fix you try.
