clutch master cylinder?
Bob696:
Lost pressure fairly quickly over night but still drivable. It was stood at work in the carpark during the day and when I came to leave I could not disengage the clutch. I took the cap off the master cylinder and pumped the peddle for about 10 minutes. It gave me enough movement of the clutch to get home home.
We tried to bleed the whole system tonight but by the end of it we were not even getting a dribble from the bleed nipple .
There was no sign of leaks anywhere although there is now most of the contents of a bottle of fluid over the drive (the easy bleed is a pile of poo)
I am guessing the clutch master cylinder has gone. Would this be a fair guess?

Sounds like it. I think they are quite cheep as well.

Is the drivers footwell mat wet with clutch fluid?? - this is the usual sign of a master cylinder faliure.... might be the slave cylinder instead.
Get a big Syringe.... much better at bleeding a clutch than a eazi bleed kit!!!

Bob696:
no sign of leaking anywhere that I could see :shock:
Devon-Rover:
It could be a flexi hose that has delaminated on the inside so blocking the flow. Else you could be right and that the MC has bitten the dust. I would think the latter.
