Fault with leased car in the days leading up to returning it

Options
I have a leased car Direct with Volvo. The 3 year lease expires Monday 10 March 25 and we have arranged for the car to be collected on that day. However yesterday 5th March the car developed an electrical fault where the central dashboard that controls the audio and heating has gone blank. It reset itself this morning but has gone blank again later today. We have emailed Volvo to highlight the issue and that it’s still within warranty and all they could recommend was to contact local dealership. We have done that but they do not have any availability until Mid April to even look at it. We had a similar issue a few months into the lease and it took them 5 months to get the part and resolve. As far as we are concerned we have met our obligations under the lease and are ready to return the car accordingly and the fault is Volvos issue and not ours. Any advice welcome
