So the problem seemed to be the clutch slave cylinder this time. A little tight to get to but I managed to change it after all.
This image shows the front of the slave cylinder. It's like the ring that holds the piston has slipped out

Fortunately I had ordered a slave cylinder already. It's kind of funny how Sachs sells their own item with Audi part numbers on them, just the Audi logo grinded off

The bleeding was absolute pain, I probably went through nearly 2 litres of brake fluid trying to make it work. I have and eezibleed type bleeding tool, but that left the clutch spongy. Today I had a little play with syringes and that did the trick, I have firm clutch now
I also received my brake caliper from repair, finally (Big thanks to Alex)! The problems along the way were many, from Brexit to Covid and non-working customs declaration software... But it's finally here!!
So I had to make a pressure test to make sure the repair had worked using the equipment pictured No leaks! I hope I can paint these this summer.
