After an hour break in a long journey I pulled away normally in first gear, then went to change to second and pedal went to the floor, so unable to disengage the clutch.

Question is is there a way to determine whether it's the slave or master cylinder that has failed. Fluid only slightly down, I have topped up and there is no loss despite working the pedal. There does seem to be spring resistance towards the bottom of pedal travel.

You can understand I don't want to be taking the gearbox out in this weather if I can avoid it.
