    Daft question guys... but where and how would I check the clutch fluid level? Under the bonnet I have located the Power Steering (ATF) bottle at the front nearside side of the car. The brake fluid bottle (DOT4) offset just behind the ATF bottle. The only other one is on the offside side of engine bay around the centre. This is labelled at requiring DOT 4 fluid. Is this the clutch fluid sump filler?

    If not then where is it and how can I check? Cheers all so far!

    That's it. From your description, it's very likely that the slave cylinder has failed.
