could be the actuator? Just buy a cap off ebay to go over the barrel. If you replace the locks you will need to replace all of them.

I will be getting rid of mine but need the key still so probably no good all electric side of it will be going. I think the solenoid gone on the pass side but I'll be Getting a new door with all that in

No, there is a small coupling 'wire' from the lock barell to the locking mechanism (which includes door-switch, solenoid, latch etc).
I recon he's jammed that link and the mechanism thinks a key is in there and turned CCW.
Would be surprised if the lock unit itself is damaged.
You can get replacement barell (+ 1 free blade) which matches to the VIN from main dealers, if you provide them with id and around 40 EUR.
