Orange one is the brake pad wear light isn't it. Mine just came on too....... 
The info display should confirm this when the engine is turned off.
Just sent a P.M. to T.L.O. to order some pads. Club N.E.R.D.s

The sensor for the gearbox has become uncalibrated (X-Y i think).
2 options -
1 x go to the dealer and get them to recalibrate/give 10forcash an email.
2 x find a stretch of road thats very quiet. Select low range, and stick it in reverse, till you see the R in the dash display (remember to fully remove your foot off the clutch), then select 1 till you see the 1 in the dash and then repeat for all other gears.
Should do the trick.
(~Had the same problem a little while ago, and after some searching on the site, found the answer and it worked for me)

If the procedure outlined by Craig doesn't work, it may be the transfer case ECU.
My symptoms were:
On start up:
- All checks proceeded as normal, no lights showing,
- As soon as I started moving, the amber park-brake light came on. One difference to yours was that the gear indicator did come on but was VERY slow.
The EPB worked as normal.
The transfer case ECU was changed and all is fine.

This has plagued me on and off for ages, I kept having to get it reset or being told I need a new EPB and after doing what Craig has said - all sorted!! 3 minutes work!! I did have to switch the engine on and off again, once I had gone through all the gears in Low Ratio - but EPB Orange light has not returned.

I had the same issue with the slow recognition of gear and the amber light. I followed Craig's instructions and it worked a treat. You do need to switch off after going through the gears to reset the amber light.
Cheers!
