Question 45mm shivers no adjustments??

I have a GG EC250 1998 with 45mm Shivers off an 07 bike.

When i first fitted them the Rebound and Compression adjusters made noticable difference when used.

I did Strip and service them when i fitted them and again 6months later.

At present winding the comp and reb adjusters fully clockwise there is no change in the fork character. In fact it is like riding a pogo stick at the mo.

I stripped one fork leg and checked the shim stack was intact, ( i did not bother to strip the other due to the fact they are both the same)

I was wondering what could be wrong. The marzocchi site talks about Inner rod pin blocked. Blocked compression and Contaminated oil.

Would these problems affect both settings? comp and reb
I know the oil is not contaminated.
Blocked compression would that affect rebound also?

With the inner rod pin I assume that would be the rod that sits in the tube which the rebound stack is attached to?

Also is the inner rod supposed to have a point on it? if it is then that could be my problem as mine looks fairly flat.

I wondered if the rebound piston seal/bush maybe was worn and allowing oil to pass around it instead of through it. But would that also affect the compression?

any help much appreciated. The manual i was looking at was on the website below.
