Yep - all bits look correct and the spring longer end bend is at the bottom

Interesting my spring was the same at both ends just the end was 180 degrees different - I fitted a new 400 spring that was identical in length & shape.
Correction one end is slightly longer I have that on the frame end - no particular reason - mine is probably upside down.
Just a thought is the spring clear of the stand at the top when the stand is down at the top end. The spring should be clear of the stand leg if you get my drift ?
JezzaPeach:
Mine will be original, the windings look more compacted. It is tight against the rubber stop when up. Looks like a manufacturing issue?
Oddjob:
Spring looks new, has it been replated?
If not it's possible the spring is incorrect and fitted by the shop as a way of just getting it out of the door.
I'd remove it again, take a pic of it against a ruler and I'll see about comparing it with mine..
SPR:
It was a new spring .... supposedly genuine ... no catching up or down
I've ordered another from a different supplier - so we will see as it certainly seems slck on the windings compared to Jez's
