[Odd Job]

I totally agree ref the master cylinder.
The loop snapped on mine that connects to the pedal.
A very kind fellow sent me a good second hand one through the post, but when I came to swap out just the plunger, I couldn't believe how difficult it was!

For a car which has such a long bonnet in front of the driver, it always amazes me they couldn't of found the room to fit the master cylinder under the bonnet somewhere.
