The only orange lights I know of in the dash are the choke and the engine management lights.

The engine management light looks like an engine. The choke symbol looks like this |/| but with a dot in the diagonal line.

Engine management. Search around and you'll find out how to read the engine management codes and what they mean.
Mum's corsa did the same for a week or 2 before the CAT completely went and the car would hardly run.

any idea what could be up with mine like i said there is no loss in power or anything just the light comes on after driving it for a while.
i had it on one of my Nova's it stayed on all the time because of a fault with the lambda sensor ran fine apart from when starting it when it was warm

Mine Starts ok and runs fine though a can't figure out what might be wrong. :confused:
best bet is to check the fault codes as it could be various things
