Then start to bleed the system I have my son in the car and get him to press down on the clutch pedal and hold it down whilst I undo the bleed nipple and allow the fluid out locking it again before he releases the clutch. You have to pull the pedal back up as there is no pressure to return it. I do this 4 times then top up the master cylinder again,usually taking 15 to 20 ml to top up, I repeat the process until the air is out of the system it takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You are best to remove the air box for access and the panel above the pedals and the trim panel above this, its a real faff to do but I have done it around once a week now for a month ( yes I know the slave cylinder needs replacing , cant do it at the moment ) good luck and hope this gets you buy for a short time. P.S. its a pain to get a tube UN the bleed nipple and getting it to stay there is nearly impossible so I use a panty liner to absorb the fluid and stop it making a mess:-) the ones with wings are best :-) :-)

Encountering a soiled panty liner makes it difficult to concentrate on the nipples dont you find?
