I have just tried restoring it again but to no avail.
It restores fine but then is still locked

This is the best way to fix your Ipod if it is permanently stuck on hold. I just wanted to share this information with other people because it is the least invasive, but most effective method, and I came up with it myself (with the aid of other information I acquired on blogs such as this). I took of the hold tab and noticed that if I hit a "sweet spot" in there with a thumbtack, the ipod will come off hold. It found the easiest way to find the "sweet spot" was to put in the thumbtack and move it around in a type of circular motion. When it was found, I noted where it was, took a tiny piece of tinfoil and stuffed it tight in the hold button opening. I then replaced the hold tab so that it was really tight. I can't used the hold button anymore, but like I care......at least I have my ipod back. Thanks. Brandon

Like tech guy said, you can always just hold down the top and middle buttons together for around 8 seconds (thats what my manuals all say) and that should restart it, thats happened to mine before.
I would say you should jsut get a new ipod soon anyway, because its going to die eventually and if you get a new one you can use your one for rougher things like taking it to work (if you have a rough job) or riding a bike or something without worrying about breaking it. Thats what I did, until the screen of my ipod cracked. That kinda annoyed me :P

Oh, unless maybe you meant that the hold button wont turn off, in that case thats happened to mine befre as well, I just held the hold button down quite hard and that did the trick, otherwise you can always take the top off if it is a piece of plastic connected to the ipod. That ended up unintentionaly happening to me at work and I never found it again :P
