failed hose between master cylinder and slave, or failed master or slave. With a failed master the fluid usually ends up in the footwell, with a slave under the car. Slave and master relatively cheap, pipe may be cheaper from a local hydraulics place. Tony

Thanks mate had a good look today and in the freezing cold and found it must be the Slave Cylinder as i found the resevoir was empty and when i topped it up and had a play found oil under the car from around starter motor area and no oil in footwell or signs of a split pipe . cheers for info now all i need to do now is fix it ,,,,,,,, any volenteers lol thanks regards mick

No - I did mine on a freezing day and it was not fun....[] Simple job though, good instructions on Clarks.

I'd do the lot (both cylinders and the hose) if you intend keeping the car as it isn't too expensive and you might as well know it is going to be right. Get a nice braided hose from Pirtek or similar while you're at it as it will be as cheap if not cheaper than the OPC one.
