Welcome to the site,

These are fairly common problems, try searching the forums for these problems.

To get you started though:
Alarm: could be Ultrasonics, you can set the alarm without the ultrasonics : Press and hold the little alarm button on the steering column until the LED goes solid (not blinking) red before getting out of the car. See here for more details on alarms.

Stereo - if it doesn't work at all, check the fuse and the connector behind it.

No idea what bakelights on dash are, even if you meant brakelights, I'm still not sure what these are on the dash.

Speedo not working happened to me once and after a few miles trying to work out the speed based on gear and revs (using milepost markers on the motorway) it fixed itself and hasn't broken since.

On the right side of the dash is a dimmer for the dash lighting, pop that out and there should be wiring plugged into the back of it but sometimes it can work loose and stop the lights from working.
