🤭 Oops

Just to add to this as it seems a good a place as any-

Recently I had some mug reverse into the front of my car while parked & unatended.

Lower grille was pushed in a bit plus sone scuffing to the paint on the lower lip.

Nothing too bad I thought until the crash sensor error popped up on start up plus adaptive cruise was disabled.

I could feel that the sensor module was loose and had the naive notion it was a simple job to just have it pushed back into place-

NOPE!

Cue 9 days at the dealership and a £750 insurance bill !!

New bracket and lower grille needed and get this- wheel alignment and recalibration of the refitted sensor were required.

The recalibration itself was £250, apparently the wheel alignment and calibration are important to avoid false readings from cars in other lanes thus banging on the brakes and causing accidents.

Luckily the original sensor was fine or else the bill would have been doubled.

Happy now that the job is completed and the paintwork looks perfect but jeez what an expensive job for what was apparently minor damage.

If I could find the asshat that did it I'd be taking £750 out of his hide for sure.

Moral of the story is safety tech on cars is good but be careful as it's fragile and costs loads to repair.
