HIYA WHILST WASHING MY BELOVED BERLINGO LAST WEDS, I NOTICED THAT THE ROOF RAILS ON THE GLASS ROOF HAS CRACKED PAINT AND BADLY FADED, I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL CITROEN DEALER FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE FOR A FEW DAYS. THAY HAVE SAID THAT THE ROOF NEED REPLACING, AS THE RAILS/BARS CANNOT BE REPAINTED AS THEY ARE LIKE A GRAPHITE FINISH TO THEM AND IF THEY REPAINTED THEM IT MAY CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE ROOF, SO CITROEN UK, HAVE ASKED FOR PHOTOS TO BE TAKEN SO THAY CAN DECIDE WHAT TO DO, IVE BEEN TOLD THAT IF THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ROOF IT WILL HAVE TO GO TO MANCHESTER FOR A SPECIAL JIG TO BE USED TO REMOPVE AND REPLACE THE WHOLE ROOF. AT A COST OF £1500 UNDER WARRANTY SOUNDS ABIT EXTREME FOR FADED AND CRACKED ROOF RAILS, IM WAITING A RESPONSE FROM MY LOCAL GARAGE WHO HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFULL SO FAR. TODAY THEY TOOK MORE PICTURES. HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM OR SIMILAR ? ROB FROM SUNNY BEXLEYHEATH (WELL IT IS TODAY ) ;)

Major airports have decided to use a new machine for checking people as they board the aircraft. Because of many complaints from passengers that they are being fondled, a new scanning device will now be used.
