Skoda Fabia Greenline electrical faults

We bought a new car on finance in January 2012. After 5 weeks all the lights on the dashboard came on and the car went into the garage. They "fixed" the car after 2 weeks and I picked it up on the Friday. On the Friday night all the lights came on again and they took the car back to the garage. They have now had the car for another 3 weeks (they have now had the car for as long as we had it!) and have still not solved the problem and do not know what it is. They are in touch with Skoda head office, who suggest various solutions, but none seem to be working - so basically they have no idea how to fix our car. This is causing us extreme stress and were wondering how long before we say "enough is enough" and ask for a new car or to write off our finance and we can go and get another car elsewhere.

Decently built and good value. Cheap to run. Greenline models are very economical with low CO2 emissions.
