My lovely i30 of 3 months was broken into last week with some scumbag putting a brick through the passenger window. They went in the glove compartment and took my handbook and my box of locking wheelnuts which had lain there since July and I kept on delaying putting them with the spare wheel.
The handbook was £35 to replace at the dealers;new wheel nuts were also £35 plus an hours labour to cut off the existing ones at £80! totalling £150 which is my excess! Then a further £60 as excess on a new window. So it cost me £210 for some scumbag to break into my car.
Moral of the story is get those wheel nuts in a safe place in your car!!
PS. What is the procedure to change the clock time?
PPS. Cant access the i30 owners club site when clicking on link?

That's really unlucky mate. Having the wheel nuts hidden wouldn't have prevented the break-in though, but like you say would have cut the cost of the overall repair. So what would those scumbags do with the nuts I wonder.
My clock is set to "auto" so it picks the time up from the RDS. If you need to change it manually you just go into the "setup" then "RDS", or you can use the setup to set the clocktime manually.
The owners club should be available by clicking

Broken Into, keep your locking wheel nuts safe
