Used car fault advice

[mcc28x]

I purchased a used skoda fabia mk2 last week from the Trade car outlet (part of the dealer DM Keith) in Ossett last week.

Today was the first time I drove in the dark and spotted that the rev counter and odometer needles don't illuminate. It's really quite difficult to see what speed I'm doing.

I contacted trade car outlet and agreed to take the car in on Wednesday. I wanted to know if they have to fix it or am I going to have a battle on my hands? Although minor in itself its quote serious given how difficult it is to see the speed. Its the maxidot instrument panel for info.

Thanks

Sorry I've corrected the opening post! Caused by copy and paste not emojis.

Thanks for the reply. I have done a little research and the instrument display is all one sealed unit which a dealer would charge upto £1k to fix according to to some. That's why I'm concerned ie the cost of any possible repair!

Yeah, there's no option on the maxidot and everything else is lit up like Blackpool illuminations!
