Ive bought a car, its still under dealers 3 months warrenty. The car is a vectra new shape 2003. its showing a blue light in the dashboard, which it shows some times, and sometimes doesnt.
Ive been to the dealer and the dealer says he cant do anything until he sees the dashboard light. In the manual it says if this light shows, it should be taken to a garage where they can do a check up.
The dealer doesnt seem to want to look at the problem and i feel is trying to delay until warrenty of 3months is finished. I bought the car 1st November.
What rights do i have legally if they do not take the vehicle for inspection? - what can i do to prove the problem? surely i shouldnt have to prove the problem!....the onus should be on the dealer to check and fix the fault.

Are you sure you've got a blue light that the manual says means the car should be taken to the dealer?
That is usually the description for an orange or red light.
Usually the only blue light in the instrument cluster is the tell-tale for main-beam headlamps, and the driver has control of that by turning the main beam on and off.
The normal colour coding is:
Red - danger - the car is unsafe to drive, or further driving would cause damage. Stop immediately.
Orange - warning - something requires attention. It could be it requires the driver's attention (e.g. rear fog lamps or rear demister are on, fuel is low) or it requires dealer attention.
Green - working tell-tale - something is switched on (e.g. sidelights, dipped beam, turn signals, front fog lamps).
Blue - main beam tell-tale - your main-beam headlamps are on.

the only blue light I'm aware of in a dashboard is the warning light for main beam headlights on. You say your manual describes this light and that it should be taken in to have a check up, all manuals I have ever read would give the actual name of the warning light
If however you are convinced that there is a problem then you need to take the car back to the dealer, with the manual, show him the picture of the light you are on about and they should check it out for you.
The down side is that the 3 months warranty you have is probably only very limited, and yes, you will have to prove that there is a problem.

hmmm. ive never heard of that vehicle. and what is a "dealer" warranty. usually a dealer will sell you an extended warranty and it would be thru an extended warranty company and you would have to contact them direct. OR it would be a manufacturers warranty and you would have to call THEM direct. Seems fishy right up front. as far as legal rights go it would depend on what state or country you live in

no. it extremely is nevertheless unlawful which you will gain this, and beneficial places you in probability besides. in case you're at a standstill in site visitors at a crimson easy, stay the place you're & enable the ambulance do what it needs to do. they're going to circulate around all and sundry on the left, in spite of if it skill going into the oncoming lane. they choose for all and sundry around them at an intersection stopped extra suitable than they choose which you will circulate over a pair ft. to boot which, you may result shifting precise into the path of the place the ambulance needs to circulate in case you attempt to circulate via the sunshine & get out of how. (you on no account be attentive to which direction they're going to instruct.) ambulances will use their sirens & horns while drawing near an intersection to tell human beings to circulate if it could wisely an legally be executed...yet in general it extremely is used at that time to warn site visitors on the circulate-highway to observe out for them. you will not have self belief how a lot of human beings on that circulate-highway do no longer word a great blaring flashing motor vehicle coming at them wanting to get via the sunshine. so rigs will circulate VERY slowly via them sometimes and use countless noise doing so. too many ambulances have been in injuries at intersections while that circulate site visitors would not clean like it is going to.
