Not sure what make the master is and the pipework all appears OK.
Everything worked fine when the 2.25 was fitted. I changed the master and slave cylinders after fitting the 2.5 engine and encountering this problem.
The reason for replacing both cylinders was to try to negate any hydraulic problems.
On pressing the clutch pedal all feels exactly as it did when everything was working fine!
On a seperate note-Les, I followed your post for the timing belt swap. Absolutely spot on and a great help.

Swap the engine! I have a 2.25 rebuilt runs like a sewing machine. Swapped it for a 2.5 n/a. Only 1500miles since rebuild. May be available once once I have test driven my Landy!

I just fitted a 2.5 N/A Defender engine into my Series 3. The previous engine was a 2.25 Diesil which worked fine. I used the friction plate from the 2.25 clutch (as the splines are diffrent on a Defender gearbox) and the pressure plate onto the 2.5 engine. Eveything seemed to slot together fine. The Defender and series pressure plates looked the same (less wear on the 2.25 so I refitted it)
Started her up but the clutch wont disengage.
No leaks but I changed the master and slave cylinders, bled system but still no luck.
Before pulling out the gearbox have I missed something?
Am I mad?
Help, advice, guidance (and sarcasm) sought and appreciated!
Clutching at Straws! (2.25 to 2.5 engine swap-clutch wont work!

Also, I replaced the thrust bearing (which looked the same as the original). Again all seemed well!
