I have had this problem but only on the driver's side and ultimately solved it by removing the side panel and freeing up the mechanism to enable the belt to be pulled out. Whilst the side was off, it was possible to find the angle at which the belt was supposed to operate by moving it until the ball sat in the middle of its cup and then set this angle up in the vehicle - in my case, vertical to within a few degrees. On mine, the drivers side belt will not come out at all if the vehicle is parked on a slope - great as our drive has quite a steep slope to it.
Any fiddling with seat belt mechanisms should be followed by a series of tests to ensure that the mechanism still operates according to its specifications. On my Beauford I have fitted XJ6 seats and matching seat belts and with these it was possible to move round the attachment for the locking mechanism until the angle suited the installation. Maybe this only occurs on larger versions of the seat belts?

To make things worse the old one also wont unlock now either so i have no seatbelt. Any suggestions?

I have just stripped the whole rear tub to find out that quantum in their wisdom fitted the drivers seatbelt to the passenger side and the passengers one to the drivers side.
