I purchased my Mercedes-Benz C270 estate on 1 September 2004 new from a Mercedes-Benz dealer. The instrument panel needs replacement due to an electronic fault in the panel (cause unknown!), at a cost of £1000. I would not expect a fault to develop in such a quality car after five years. Mercedes-Benz will not accept any responsibility. Is it possible to try to get the manufacturer to contribute to the cost under the Supply of Goods Act?
