I'm thinking it's master cylinder causing this.
Sorry I can't help any more with your issue, but I think your in the right ballpark.
@vRSAlex is looking at mine in January so I'll report back :happy2:

Ok mate thanks. I'm going to get mine looked at soon so I'll let you know what the outcome is. Any idea how much a garage will charge to fit a master cylinder? They are £50 on euro car parts and I'm thinking about an hours labour on top?

I changed one recently mate. An hour tops.
Try buying from carpartsforless. Its cheaper but its eurocarparts that own it so same parts.
Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks mate. I spoke to the previous owner who said he had the master cylinder changed a couple of years ago so he doesn't think it's going to be that? I'm thinking it's going to be the slave cylinder.
