SUCCESS!!!!
I had been worried that the spring was unsuitable. It was far to weak and had been soldered at one end ( I presume to stop it falling off!) I have replaced it with a slightly heavier one and it works perfectly. It is not too strong to affect the contacts from closing but assists the reverse current to allow opening at a normal tick over.
Thanks to everyone for their advise.
