Not everyone looks in the "Intro" section so I'll move your grief-laden topic to the "Problems" section, where you will undoubtedly get more input :D

You have been unlucky the i30 has an enviable reputation for reliability :undecided:

The white smoke sounds like a dodgy Glow plug to me.. :cool:

I'm not techinically minded but if it was me I'd be asking the dealer to ask HY HQ to send someone to look at the car to try to establish the issues/rectification required

Keep us updated as the weeks progress.

Many miles of, now, carefree motoring.

Advised dealer wheels are corrodded, car booked in for service in 2.5 weeks, I said can run it down & you take picks & get wheels replaced during service, dealer informs me claim wont be sorted by then, surely dealers have some sort of self authorisation.
