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.

    Front radar on FL

    I had some kind person reverse into the front of FL and drive off. I heard the noise but did not get out in time to catch them. The car looks fine but I noticed the black plastic trim around the front radar was pushed out of place. I have managed to slot it back to where I think it should...

    Flood water damage resulting in full battery replacement

    Hi all, I am a new member and I have just signed up specifically to make this post. Before I go onto explain the situation, I want to precede this with the fact that I am not here to publicly shame MG, the car ( 2023 MG ZS EV) or scaremonger. I'm simply looking for answers and possible...

    Battery 100% for how long?

    I have an ER, but assume my query relates to LRs as well. A charge failure last night led me to think how awkward that would be if I wanted a 100% battery for a long trip the following day. Would I be damaging the battery if I charged to 100% the night before = 24-30 hours before setting off on...

    Undertray broken off

    Hi All, First message on this forum! I’ve had my MG4 long range for around 6 weeks and done just over 1k miles. Last night I noticed that something seemed to be dangling down from the underside of the car. I was shocked to find, when examining it closer today, that it appears that a large...

    MG4 SE SR rims are built tough

    This is an unfortunate ending for my MG4, after being in the dealer for weeks for a simple infotainment update which MG Certified Service Centre denied, I recieved the car as delivered and drove it for running errands and small stuff. Got involved in a stupid crash today, an elder person drove...

    How much damage to write off your MG4?

    Well not a great deal it seems! I can see the intrusion into the rear, behind the bumper but still.... I guess a lot of it will be to do with the car being relatively 'cheap' to buy, hence the threshold of repair costs, versus replacement is reached earlier. Some interesting photos...

    Spare parts and service

    We have an MG EHS, and unfortunately I had a collision with another car. The damage is approximately €10,000. The workshop where the car is being repaired has ordered parts. Before starting the repair, all parts must be received. We have been waiting for that for 2 months now. This is an...

    Undertray/wheel arch plastic damage

    Hi everyone, Yesterday we went partially through some standing water at the side of the road. A puddle a couple of inches deep at most, not fast and not particularly splashy or anything! It's a puddle that we wouldn't have thought twice about before. I heard a cracking sound under the...

    Take off your MG4 wheel covers now!! All they do is damage the alloy and they look CRAP!!

    I washed my car this weekend and decided to remove the wheel covers to clean the alloys and im shocked that MG chose to fit these to the car. The wheel covers have metal clasps on them that grip on to the wheel and all they do is scratch the wheels and make them look awful. Mine have never been...

    Wiper arm damage to bonnet.

    Anyone else getting old and forgetting to “park” wipers before trying to lift them from the windscreen? During the frosty weather I like to ensure wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen before moving off. I have fitted some door edge protector along the trailing edge of the bonnet as per...

    Bonnet damage by windscreen wipers.

    Hope this tip is useful to others;- I have placed a strip of rubber door edge protection along the rear edge of my bonnet. This should prevent damage to paint when trying to free frozen wipers. (Yes I know I should “park” wipers during frosty weather but never remember).
