This happend on my car, and stopped when I sprayed the HT leads with 
WD40, hence I replaced all the HT leads - problem solved (in my case anyway)
Although the light did come on, the car did not appear to be suffering 
any problems because of it, but an orange light coming on all the time, 
is damn anoying to say the least.
