rover 620 sdi, alarm problems - peugeotenginebreaker

Ive got a rover 620 sdi, M reg. The factory fitted alarm seems to be throwing tantrums. It randomly goes off and Im not sure why. Ive had to disconnect the horn for now but its gonna kill the battery with the indicators.
Ive tried locking the car by key so that the inetrior sensors are disabled but no change so I can rule out movement to the car which leaves me with an electrical pull somewhere. Has anyone any idea where to start checking or things likely to cause this?
