Alarm going off while driving is often the power sounder.
It is under the scuttle, front passneger side i think.
Its batterys leak, causing this problem.  It can be removed completely or replaced if you value it.

That may even be the problem with the lights staying on. Power sounder has both ignition and permanent feeds to it, and when the batteries leak the goo that come out of them is conductive!

It's under the scuttle cover panel on the driver's side on a bracket just behind the driver's side suspension turret. You may be able to reach in and pull the plug but the best way is to remove the scuttle panel.

Opinions vary on the cost of a new one from about 50 quid to over 100.  :-/

Have a look at my post on this subject and also a possible repair which could save you 40 - 50 quid
