damage

Damage is any change in a thing, often a physical object, that degrades it away from its initial state. It can broadly be defined as "changes introduced into a system that adversely affect its current or future performance". Damage "does not necessarily imply total loss of system functionality, but rather that the system is no longer operating in its optimal manner". Damage to physical objects is "the progressive physical process by which they break",: 1.  and includes mechanical stress that weakens a structure, even if this is not visible.: ix.

    Scratch

    Just got back from the shops and found a deep scratch. Huzzah. See photos. Whether it is down to the metal or the primer, I don't know. Probably a very basic question, but do I need to get this scratch professionally repaired? We aren't terribly concerned about the look but want to make sure...

    Advice on how to approach this parking lot hit and run?

    Hello fellow MG4 lovers, As if the passenger side door dents were not enough, today we acquired a bad shiner on the driver side rear. So, looking for advice on how to manage this? Viofo turned out to be a £500 waste as it didn't log the event. Is the blue-ish tinge the other car or just the...

    Questionable damage and a declined warranty claim MG5EV

    We have a 71 plate MG5. 3 months ago it broke down in the middle of a drive. We had to be recovered to a local ev specialist who couldn't find a fault without stripping the battery amd suggested a warranty investigation at dealership. So we transported the car to our nearest one 90 min away. 10...

    What sort of a scam is this?

    This was a link I followed from Twitter, promising amazing results in covering up car scratch damage. https://www.zerylan.com/products/capray?twclid=2-49idrvjtt8bz6yzbthfm6c222 The web site says "available in all car colours" which seemed improbable, and the appearance of the spray bottle...

    Windscreen crack appears out of nowhere

    My wife and I got in the car this morning after it had sat in the driveway all night, and she immediately noticed a reasonably long v-shaped crack on the windscreen, up high and in the middle. My view of it was obscured totally by the rear view mirror. I realise this sounds unlikely but we were...

    New Cyberster Windscreen!

    Last week a stone hit our windscreen and made a triple impact star pretty much in the middle of the screen. Autoglass just been to see it and concluded it needs complete replacement screen as overall damage area too large and too big a dip in the surface. Not surprisingly Autoglass don’t have...

    MG5 A/C Condenser/Radiator Damage

    Has anyone else noticed any damage to their air con rad from road debris hitting it? I was under the car the other day wax oiling it, and actually pulled a strip of cooling fins from between the underguard and subframe, that had dislodged from the lowest part of the radiator! I was pretty...

    Well that didn't take long ! (minor damage)

    Just over seven days before someone decided that I'd had too good a run and it was time to remove the gloss from new car ownership. Fortunately the damage is pretty minor, but it's no longer a nice, shiny, new (to me) thing. :cry:Anyone know where I can pick up some colour matched bumper paint?

    First Wash In Three Months

    As some of you know, I smashed my ankle in on 23 November. Yesterday, I finally was able to wash it, albeit with not as much attention as I would have liked, as I could not grovel on the driveway! It was f-f-f-f-f-f filthy! One dirty side. I should have taken a shot of the rump as that was...

    Body repairs

    Hey all I’ve recently acquired my MG4 EV long range as a company car - absolutely love it. In the last couple months, I’ve been driving it to the train station and parking in the long stay car park. I returned last night and one of the side body mouldings had come off, and the lower mouldings...

    Expensive knock (radar unit damaged)

    So today I had a very minor collision with a deer that shot across the road in front of me. It was so slight that the deer ran off seemingly unharmed, but the bumper obviously flexed and the paint has shed. Now all the ADAS systems are offline and bonging warnings at the start of every journey...

    Storm damage

    Got up Friday morning to suspect that a small piece of masonry had been detached from the garage roof and fallen onto my MG4 Trophy - breaking the plastic cover on the nearside rear lights. I was less bothered about the small dent which may have been the result of out bin flying into it, since...

    Seriously tough vehicle!

    A short update on my own positive MG4 experience, just to offset some of the more irritating experiences reported in the forum... A few months back I managed to reverse our MG4 into a culvert (yes, really, really stupid!). The bottom of the car was wedged on a large rock, the offside rear...
