So im thinking master cylinder? Any idea of cost to sort?

Sorry to say that your thinking is correct.
This happened to my sons FL2 last year and it was a gearbox out job. Quite a common fault on the early ones apparently.
It was repaired by RCV at Paddock Wood at a cost of around £1300 but my boy had the whole clutch assembly replaced while the box was out as it seemed silly not to.
Avoid a main dealer for this - Guy Salmon in Maidstone quoted £3400 for the same job, but then I suppose they do clean your car and give you a tin of sweets when you get it back!!!

Yikes. Not simple at all. Or cheap.
 
Not sure if ours was the slave or master cylinder but just to clarify this, our clutch peddle was actually stuck on the floor. It did not return unless you got your foot under it and "levered" it up.
Then as soon as you pushed it down again it stayed down, so it wasn't as though you could pump it up and down and there was no pressure.

if slave leaks it usually drips on to floor from the bell housing master cylinder can show no big leaks it only needs a little air for over center helper spring to keep pedal on the carpet

Yep thats the one. Clutch still works though
 
So master cyclinder done fly wheel done(was damaged) and clutch 1300 quid.

Ouch - Just before Christmas as well........Sounds about the right price though.
My boy is really pi**ed off with his - Starter motor is now needing to be wacked with a rubber mallet every few starts.
Just the latest in a catalogue of failures that has made him decide to get rid.

Check electrics terminals are clean and tight first........mine were really bad the other week causing non starting.....else there is a solenoid kit available on eBay......just tell him the more he fixes the less there is to go wrong.
 
Thats the first thing thats really gone on this, had a bit of a thing with the hadlex but was sorted ok.
