I just completed the fix, thanks to the useful guidance here. I fitted a new spring (cost me around £8 on ebay) instead of unwinding the broken spring. Whole job took me around 3 hours.

Error code has now gone away. However, I just discovered I can no longer use the gearbox in manual mode. With some difficulty I can force the selector lever over to the left into manual, but I can't then rock it forward or backwards to change gears. I guess I must somehow have reassembled the unit wrongly, so I'll have to take it apart again.

What would help would be an exploded diagram or picture of the selector box internals, but I can't seem to find one. Would be useful to see if I've somehow lost a spring or something.
