Yea u can here the fuel pump priming when I turn the key. Took the starter out and took the wee clip off. Got a set of jump leads and put them to the positive on the battery and touched the wee metal bit for the clip. When I touched it the fuel pump came on but the starter didnt crank. Should I try a different starter?

Yes!! I have a very good feeling its your starter.
 
Don't no i thought there was just your mean relay. Is there any way to test a starter when its out of a car just before i go and buy a new one?
 
Take the starter out connect it to a battery and the pinion should throw out. If it Dosent clean it out and try again.
 
It's alright folks I got it sorted turns out it was a bad earth. Took them all off and the terminal fell of. Thanks for the help my head was put away for a while. Going to buy a new earthing kit anybody recommend any?
 
IMO earth kits are a waste in a daily. Better off changing all the ground wiring.
 
(electrician here) earthing kits are a great purchase if you are having said problems due to poor wiring. alot of the earthing i have seen on the civic has some pretty poor factory fit cable to it. if your fatter bonding cable is looking dull brown then its had too much water contact over the years. copper as we know dies quickly in wet enviroments.
Look for buying Tri rated cable in short lengths and your own set of crimpers. expensive stuff but very good !
