S reg 1.3 Fiesta Clutch prob

Got a weird fault with the above - pretty sure its the clutch slave cylinder - can see fluid dripping from the bell housing...

But the symptoms are weird...

get in - clutch is UP, works fine, can choose gears. Can do that for ten mins...

Drive off - with 2 mins - clutch pedal drops to floor, no clutch action unless pumped - works a bit. Park up, clutch works...

So couple of questions

1)Can't get my head round pedal - no like brake slave failure - never seen a pedal start working again on brakes unless pumped... why? 2)Button on clutch pedal - what for? 3) Wheres the clutch master cylinder? 4) How much for labour (slave cylinder £30) 5)How long/any tips for diy? How long?

1 it must now be very low on brake fluid (feeds the clutch circuit) there were some problems with a compensator valve in the circuit at one time. 2 button tells the ecu you are changing gear

3 back of the engine bay, follow the pipe.

4 2.4 hour job so 200 quid ish

5 you need quite a bit of equipment to diy, easiest is to take the engine out.
