Can't bleed the master cylinder at all, just won't empty or re-fill at resevioir, not tried to bleed slave not sure how to to that? 3 banjo bolts out then what? A bit unsure any advice would be great! Thanks
Your saying have a play with it but surly I should be able to fill the system via the master cylinder from the resevioir, I can't get any fluid in or out of it and have stripped the clutch down and everything is clear! ??

Have you taken the rubber sock out of the reservoir?
3 bolts hold the slave cylinder in situ. You dont need to touch them.

My '09 had an episode last night after a hard rain. I was downshifting coming off the highway when the clutch got tight and wouldn't disengage ( let go of lever but it acted like I was still holding it). I thought that I might have to spray the thing down with some lube after the rain ( maybe something sticking). Opened up the reservor and found the rubber gaitor sucked down. After putting it back "up", and working the clutch a few times, it seemed to get easier and I didnt have a problem the rest of the evening. Any thoughts?

Always pissin down with rain Sussex
There's nowhere for the oil to go in the clutch system so the oil level in the reservoir should remain constant, if the level has dropped & sucked the gaitor down you have a leak

I didn't notice a drop in oil level, and can't see any external leak. I had the problem once before and "worked it out" by pumping the clutch lever.
