Just thought id post this up as no one got back to me and im assuming no one has EVER had this issue before me lol
I took the key and locks to a locksmith and he said the key was the issue even though it was turning the ignition so he suggested cutting a new key again which he did with no success so i was on looking for replacement dc5 lock with key with iginition barrel or else just the door mechanism and key.
I then came across the below item on ebay which was a 96-01 civic or 95-01 crv door barrel with keys new.
They both looked the same so i took a chance and bought them and they arrived on Saturday.
These fit PERFECTLY and work PERFECTLY and for £18 posted i cant complain as it gives me peace of mind if the battery dies.
So for future ref these will work!
