It's probably the small casting I mentioned, it's quite a delicate part which cracks and breaks up. I went through 4 replacement locks before I found one with this bit intact..

In the picture below, the part with the red bit on is what I called the "end plate" just underneath it is the spring, but as Dissy days, it's probably the small metal cast "ring" that's broken up. Not difficult to replace.
