i agree,
not battery
Only thing i could think of is as people have already said,
immobiliser
you 100% it aint that,
the lights could well still come on if the key goes in,
it all depends on how the alarm is wired to the ignition,

i can turn the key fully as normal!
When i got to start it, final turn, nothing happens no lights dim or anything, lights just stay on!
im pretty sure its immobiliser as the alarm functions properly, as in been sat there then the immobiliser kicks in after certain time as normal turn key press alarm fob and turns off and lights come on on dash!
Im thinking its barrel

have u tried turning the steering wheel side to side as you try to remove the key?
Sounds like a wire on the barrel has come off which wont complete the ignition circuit, take the cowling off and have a double check of it all
