Astra master cylinder............

[Gordon (archive)]

My car starts to slowly move forwards whilst in gear with the clutch depressed. This is progressive and then engages fully (pedal still depressed). There is no loss of fluid anywhere. Took it to my local dealer who said it was the master cylinder bypassing. Where abouts is it and is it an easy job to change. I cant wait 5 days to get it booked in ..............Gordon.

Its the bit that is fastened to the pedal with a rod and bolts to car with, I think two 13mm nuts - takes about an hour and a half if memory serves me right - can be a tw*t to bleed.
