So with the clutch playing up and the master cylinder clearly leaking I ordered a new master cylinder from classic swede for about £60
So first thing was to take out the front seats to be able to get on my back
Once out - on my back in the footwell and feet on the rear seats….
Can just about see the clutch master cylinder as it comes through the firewall
Here you can just about see one of the nuts that hold the master cylinder though the firewall.
First thing is to remove the clip that holds the pin that joins the clutch pedal arm and the master cylinder (as seen in the image above)
It’s fiddly but once you see how it works then you can free it
I used a 2 pronged trim removal tool to wedge in and remove
Once it’s disconnected you can (with massive difficulty) remove the 2 x nuts
And undoing the pipe from the end of the master cylinder under the bonnet allows the cylinder just to slip out
leaving a nice hole
Here is a pic of the new one vs the old one - you can see how much leakage there is
Fitting the new one is the same as removal
You defo need someone to hold the master cylinder in place from outside the car while it’s screwed in from the inside
Then fill and bleed - I’ve not bled yet
I also got a slave cylinder delivered at the same time as it was only about £20
Good luck
