    As you've provided no details whatsoever get it serviced by a RGI and he'll advise you accordingly

    i have it serviced regularly but i am wondering what affect this 'turning off' may have had on its function?

    by what i undestand it has 'decompressed' thus leaving it dry since about december. i read someone say this can be terminal!

    It sounds like its lost its pressure. Its not terminal and is often a matter of re pressurising but if its been making noises then best get it checked properly as anyone on here would be just guessing as to its cause.
