Most Mk1 owners have probs with the horn not working!
Rev lights may be switch at gearbox, pull the wires off the switch and see if the lights go out. Its a pretty simple circuit. Power-switch-lights-earth.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

My horn started to act up the same a while back. I beeped as I went round a bend, then again when I went round another one and then it stayed on constantly after I turned left! 8O
I had to drive the last half mile to work like it (much to the amusement of the kids I work with!) and someone disconnected the horn for me.
Hubby took the steering wheel off to discover that a piece had sheered of the brass contact ring at the back of the wheel and jammed between the two contact rings making a permanent connection. A replacement steering wheel saved the day!!
