Andy,

This may not be the answer to your problem, as my problem occured two years ago on my brand new 2000 model. I went to check my damper settings and the rear rebound damper only did a few clicks and then the adjuster freewheeled and eventually the adjuster, collar and a few other bits (I am not technical) fell out, never to work again. The whole shock assembly was replaced under warranty without any difficulty, so should be ok for you to get it replaced.

Hope this helps. It helps me knowing someone else suffered the same failure.
