It's more than a ding (4)
I believe the answer is:
dent
'it's more than a ding' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for dent that I've seen before include "Depression caused by blow" , "Hollow caused by a blow" , "Impress" , "Tend to make small depression" , "Surface hollow" .)
