Arrggghhh!!! Clutch Problems

Hello,
I'm looking for some help and advice please!
I have an L reg 200tdi, about a week ago the clutch started to lose resistance until the pedal was almost biting on the floor. I then noticed that i had let the master cylinder reservoir dry out completely. doh: bloody idiot i am). So i bled the system, everything was fine until thursday, when i found myself stuck across a T junction with no clutch resistance whatsoever (o bugger). After a short tow and peer under the hood i discovered that the master cyclinder had a hole in the rubber cap which looks like it had melted (Under the pedal). So on Friday i went all out and fitted new Master & Slave cylinders and damper. Everything went well and system worked fine whilst bleeding. Once nipple replaced and dust cap put back the clutch pedal has now locked solid and cannot be depressed at all. I dont understand how i can go from everything working and moving fine to be locked solid? Help!
Any ideas will be gratefully received.
Cheers, Graeme (with not much hair left Grrr)

Or engine out, whichever is easier for you.

Might aswell replace the rest of the clutch whilst its off, one less thing to go wrong int it .

what about the damper on slave cylinder is that some kind of directional valve could i off fitted that wrong?

or am i just trying to kid myself!!

i use my disco 200 tdi with out the damper as one less thing to go wrong, werent one on when i got the car so never bothered
