Default Mk5 ignition fault.

I've got a mk 5 cabriolet xr3i. Not owned it long, been sat in the car park at work.
I drove it home after starting with jump leads. Tried to start the car again, and the starter turned over but car wouldn't start. When I remove keys from ignition, the battery and oil light stay on really dim. Tested fuel pump and no power going to it, but pump does work when I put external 12 v across it. When I turn it over there is also No spark from any plugs.

I tested my fuse tray, ecu and alarm module on my mates identical car, and they are fully working.
So to sum up, no power to fuel pump, no spark at plugs and oil and batt lights stay on dim when key removed.
Could this be ignition module ? Or wiring fault ?
