Welcome to the forum

So, not sure what I’ve managed to do to it but will try and explain the situation….
Was minding my own business going through what I thought was a well know and passable Ford in the midlands.
As I was on the approach I noticed that there were a lot of tractor tracks but thought nothing more and carried on, one I got into the water noticed that the larger tractors had dug a grove leaving only a lump of concrete / tarmac which the hippo was not able to get over, hit it with a bit of a bump and quickly got into reveres to back out of a potential drowning…..
In reverse clutch nearly out and eventually got a bit of traction and managed to back out, Diddnt feel like the back wheels were doing much but it’s still got all its 4x4 gear attached so not sure there.
Got it back out and the clutch started slipping and banging a bit assuming because if got very hot and wet, then took the hippo to a pre booked alignment and tracking session (bear with me)
So got it back from the alignment and that’s all done but now I’ve noticed a bit of a whine at low speed coming from the front, wondering of it could be a result of the alignment or the reversing out of the Ford ina bit of a panic ?

apart from that all seems fine don’t know it=f anybody else’s has had anything similar or a case of watch it and see how it goes - does seem to be anew low speed wine though ??

any advise much welcomed
