My Brake Fluid Is All Gone!

Hi all,

Went to pop to the shops the other day and realised my brakes weren't working! Pedal goes all the way to the end and barely does anything, just about feel it braking a smidge when fully depressed.

Had the RAC out and they can't see any leaks, so seem pretty sure it's the brake master cylinder. Just wanted to see if anyone has replaced this in the past? I normally do work on cars with my Dad but he's in Essex and I've just moved to Surrey - can't exactly drive the car back with no breaks! How difficult is it? I'd like to do it myself if I can - but also don't want to completely balls it up!

Also, does anyone know anyone good trustworthy garages in the Epsom area which I could consult if I decide not to do this myself?

Thanks in advance all, hope you're in good health.
