Front grinding after going through huge puddle at speed

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me. I drove through a huge puddle on the road yesterday, I was doing about 30 to 40, unfortunatly I couldn't avoid as someone was over taking me at time, and since then there has been a grinding feeling through the peddles. It feels more on the front left as when i turn left therre is deffentily more of a vibration.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

could it be that the wet caused the breaks to contract from being hot, or youve picked up a stone in between the disc and break caliper.

Hi Paul, thanks for the reply.
Yes I am hoping its breaks related. Just took it for a drive and I have the front breaks are slightly locked on as when I take my foot off the gas the the car seems to slow down quicker than normal.......or is that wishful thinking.
I will take it round to my friends tomorrow as he is realy good with cars and see what he thinks, ta again.

Firstly, the word is "brakes" not "breaks". Rolling Eyes

Secondly, a grinding noise might be caused by some waterborne debris between the pads and disc or between tyre and arch. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Why not? Microsoft does spelling and grammar checks. Being in England, you should surely be able to write and spell simple English. If I see a spelling mistake, I, like RRSTDV8, will correct it.

If your unhappy with any comments directed to you or about you, feel free to use the red triangle at the top right of the reply to report it.

Cubby how deep was the puddle Rolling with laughter Water can wash grease out of the bearings but I assume it was on its way out anyway.

Hi Daz, thanks for comments and suggestion what to do.
Sounds as if that's just what might have happened. I have a friend who works at Glasgow Taggerts Land Rover and is going to do the job for me on Monday at mates rates. Very Happy 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE

Sorry to hear this mate, hope its not too costly for you.
Did you hear any noise previously to going through puddle?
I thought you would get some type of noise from the bearing giving tell tail signs of a potential issue luming..

Hi Paul, thanks.
It wasn't really just a puddle, was flooding at the side if the road, kerb stone. I wasn't aware of any noise beforehand but yes was probably on the way out.
Was checking on ebay and you can get the bearings starting at £50 but I am a bit suspect of ones so cheap.
I called Euro Car Parts and they do them from £140, suppose just need to take the hit on them for safety etc.
Ta for your help.

Also try the site sponser on here for the bearings.

I would buy the best you can for the sport but I put the cheapest possible in my enduro bikes I do a lot of events/rides involving river crossing, hence why I found out about water killing bearings Big Cry
