So my worst fear was realised after removing the plastic trim to gain better access to remove the clutch master cylinder. One cracked pedal box
Quick recap of how this happened....
Went to change gear as normal and heard a crack/pop and felt strange movement in pedal. At this point the clutch pedal only returned about halfway and bite point of clutch was near the floor. So i thought i'll need to get that looked at, but car was still driving fine for the next few days. Until gear changes became difficult to the point where i had no clutch pedal as it was on the floor. Changing gears with no clutch is doable but then i had to stop at a junction...game over . Flat bed recovery job home.
Was hoping it was just the master cylinder but on closer insection the pedal box is cracked. So the initial cracking sound will have been the pedal box going. After that the extra stress on the master cylinder means it was inevitable this would break.
So if you feel like something has broken get it parked up asap or you will just break the master cylinder or something else. I learned this the hard way. Some will say a clutch change could have prevented this, but my pedal was not particularly hard to press. So i'd say it's just luck if your pedal box is going to break.
Some photos attached. Is this fixable in place? At this moment i have no idea who i can get to fix this.
