Does anyone know if the 2010 Marzocchi 55 TST2 forks will be the same as previous years internally.

Mine are stuck down, and I need to get them repaired, but unfortunately don't have the cash on hand to send them off. I did find this link on MTBR:
http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=563366

It explains how to fix the problem without having to send it back, but only mentions up to 2009 forks, as the thread is old. Anyone reckon this would work for the 2010 forks?

    Only one way to find out :D

    This happened to a guy I was riding with today as well, personally I would bin 'em and get a set of used Vanillas/Lyriks ect.

    Beleive me, i would love to bin them, but its just not possible. New forks are too damn expensive.

    Ill be taking the bike to my mates tomorrow to see if he can sort out a decent price of getting them fixed since he's quite handy with suspension stuff. Hopefully it wont be too expensive.

    I figure the internals will be pretty similar if the lack of reliability is anything to go by

    I live in Austria, and it's a waste of money to send to England, so I have to do them here in Austria. Unfortunately I don't have a receipt for the bike since I picked it up privately, so can't get it done on warranty.
