Newbie and My bike

Dirt Disciple
Hi all, I am new here, I have pulled my old bike out after a few years and looking to get back in the saddle. It's a 1999 or thereabouts Specialized FSR. Still in great condition except the front suspension seems to be locked. Shimano XT everything. Wouldn't change it for the world.

Thanks for that. I'd forgotten about elastomer.
Any idea how I identify my forks, to buy the correct kit?
 
I've found a manual for them I'll take them apart tomorrow and see what I've got. They are quite complex inside.
 
Need a new seat post too, 30.9 I believe. This one is too short. Apart from that. It rides perfectly. :)
 
Can anyone help please, I bought a cheap set of forks to tide me over while I hopefully repair my original Manitous. The problem is the posts for the brakes is in a different position, higher and I can't use my XT V brakes.
