Key won't turn, car won't lock

So less than a week into FFRR in ownership and first big problem. Unlocked the car this morning and went to turn the key to start and it won't move. Tried moving the steering wheel, no such luck.

Tried to lock and then unlock the car again and nothing happens. When I lock the car with the key, it locks for 2 seconds and then unlocks!

Any ideas before I start kicking it with my size 11s? (or calling LR in Switzerland)

And an update; the Swiss AA came out to look at it and couldn't get it started. Been waiting for the tow truck and wife tried one more time and hey presto, it now starts.

Driven straight to the local LR dealer to be looked at. Thank Christ it is still under warranty.

Land Rover in Lausanne have diagnosed a complete electrics failure! Sounds quite serious; should I be worried? The car is under warranty but slightly concerned going forward.
