Default Gc8 - Eng cuts out

Hi guys, did a search but nothing similar came up.

-So heres my problem, was driving home tonight then the engine turned off no power on dash too, so i turned ignition off then back on and it was fine for the rest of the trip.

-Home now turned ignition off then back on again and no lights on dash, engine turns over but doesnt start, only happens if i do it quickly but its ok if i turn the key slowly, so thinking it could be the ignition barrel?

-also noticed one of the headlights have blown

Yes there is fuel and battery is ok.

Any help input would be much appreciated thanks

I'm having a problem now where the after market immobiliser is playing up, often cutting out the car or leaving the the car with no dash lights or any power. RAC came out and bypassed the unit and i'm having a new system installed tomorrow. Sounds similar, blown head light could be a coincidence?
