Update: Just for information...
Brandon sent me the the Shiver 45 manual (many thanks!) and I have worked out that the bottom nut releases the compression valve at the bottom of the fork BUT you need a special tool to insert down the tube and stop the whole thing turning so don't just plonk a spanner on try to undo it! I left well alone.
The forks are not too bad to service and the correct amount of oil is 610ml
My forks only had 300 ml (must have been leaking for a while) and it was a dark grey colour which I believe indicates that the bushes have worn a bit.
All good now.
Thanks again to Brandon.
