Disconnect the in-line connector and using your spare connector reverse bleed the master cylinder (as per MGJohn's post) ensuring the clutch pedal is up, which will push any air into the reservoir (do not overfill or you will have fluid running onto your carpets!). Once you have done that disconnect your bleeding connector and with the master cylinder connector left undone press the clutch pedal, it should be solid - if not your master cylinder is faulty.
Next bleed the slave cylinder using the spare connector until no air is expelled from the bleed nipple, reconnect the original pipework and check your clutch, if the pedal works all good, if the pedal was solid when disconnected from the slave pipework but doesn't work then there is still air in the system or the slave is faulty.
Hope that helps, Paul.
