Have you tried cycling the fork a few times to get the oil into cartridge?

edit: maybe fox that needs that?

Not enough oil by the sounds of it, book 'em in for a service.

yer.no problem doing the service work as iv,e already done all the oils and set them from 100 to 120.
but i think iv,e convinced myself to send them off now for the full hit service as iv,e just found that they also knock when you compress them.
only £85 so off they go.thanks for the advice anyway.
