Is anyone P08 savvy?

Got a pal with a P08 which fails to re-arm the trigger mech when shooting. It will do it manually no problem like it's working fine, but as soon as you fire it it cycles but the trigger doesn't re-arm. Is this likely to be a lazy spring...the one on the left hand side (trigger bar spring) which operates the trigger mech?

Sorry I don't have a much of a clue with the things, but thought someone might be able to throw a little light on it or a few web links.

I haven't messed with those much. a lot of parts and could be wear or mixed up non matching parts. Here's a Belgian webpage on about them, sort of.

It's the 'ressort gâchette' that's lame I think!
