Hi  and 

My first i30 had similar alloys to those and they pitted under warranty. When I took the car for replacement inserts they simply unscrewed them from the inside, having removed each wheel. So my guess is they aren't glued but screwed.

No update from me. There's a service coming up in 2 months so I might just leave it for then, hopefully the car doesn't have any lasting impact from this..

  latest update on my woes.
30 March, Car is not going again. Have been using it daily since the last NRMA visit 12 days ago.
Went to garage and it didn't start locking/unlocking, so tried the the door handle button and it unlocked normally for a change. so I thought it had decided to behave, but instead of starting up, all dashboard lights started flashing. I was able to lock it via the door button. and retried unlocking again and trying to start it up. No luck and then said key fob not recognised.. Now it seems to be dead again aargh. 

Not due at Suttons till Thursday morning. Don’t want to call NRMA again for now. I'll call NRMA wed afternoon and if they can get it running, I'll take it straight to Suttons so they have it for early Thursday morning.
I only hope they can fix the problem or I may be looking for a new car (hope not). If I’m lucky it may only be the driver’s side door lock causing all the problems.
Meanwhile I will at least get some exercise as have to walk to a couple of appointments that I would normally drive to. (Have to look on the bright side)
Happy Easter, hope it's better for everyone else.

Welcome
