Hello Firestarter. Thanks for tip I have looked on ebay I am starting to wonder? The part that connects to the clutch pedal is that the master cylinder? because it looks about right in carparts mountain picture which they sell for £40. as the bar has broken on mine I have not lost pressure and it was a garage that said whole system needs replacing, do you think I might have a cheaper lucky escape option, by the way still trying to take out pedal thought best not yo rush.

you can buy a complete clutch pedal assembly including the hydraulic lines and slave cylinder off e bay for about £200 and DIY (easy job but time comsuming). only problem is you have to remove dash to get to the pedal, i know this as i fixed my mates the other week. good luck
