Happened to a mate and the coil had snapped. If you've got some 15wt oil about use it as an excuse to do a lowers service on your forks and have a peek inside. It will probably be obvious whats wrong.

Before you open it up, make sure the yop cap is engaging with it's 'hex key' mount. (Take it off and have a look - Is the hole in the top cap rounded for instance) Also check the bolt in the bottom of the leg is tight. If not, tighten it up! If there is no bolt, it's fallen out, and that's the problem!

It should've read top cap - the adjuster dial just turns a hex bolt underneath it, so if the inside of the adjuster dial has rounded off, it'll just spin on top of the bolt without actually turning anything.

That's what happened to mine when it had cracked, it would'nt properly engage with the bolt and just spun in place
