Quick update. Thanks to loads of helpful advice above, and after much searching, I managed to source an old pump spring (thanks to Henrik in Sweden!).
30 mins to remove the pump and replace the spring that came inside the Seven Workshop new replacement pump, and Jane is running as smoothly as I'd expect with no drips after switching off. OK, I've only driven 1 km so far, but the improvement is remarkably clear.
Standing the two springs side-by-side on the bench there was a huge difference, very easily discernible pressing down by hand without any gauges !!!
