Ok so as most people know im not that mechanical so here goes, I thought clutch was away but the pedal goes straight to floor and the resevoir is empty ! having looked online this would suggest a leak somewhere any advice or thoughts. As i drove home
the gears became harder to select but got home . Now when I check there is no pressure whatsoever.
Cheers

Check up behind your pedal with a torch - you'll see where the plunger goes through the bulkhead, have a feel and see if that's wet. If it is, your clutch master cylinder is the culprit.

you can get master cylinder and/or slave cylinder from eurocarparts (pagid) @ £55 for master cylinder - or try livingston autoparts for blueprint ones though they might be a bit more expensive
youve just got to find where its is leaking from :)
master cylinder is a bit of a pain to do so ive been told but the slave cylinder is quite easy to do - hope this helps

Just catching up with old threads...
How did you get on with this @claymore68?
It definitely sounded like either master cylinder, slave cylinder or the line between the two.
