Having just replaced my slave, clutch, gearbox and a.c pump, its the bit

'take care not to overflow the master cylinder reservoir (remove excess

fluid with a syringe or similar)' which i don't like.

Also when topping up the master with fluid, you have to pull the rubber "condom" seal out of the reservoir before pouring in the fluid.

I removed mine and cut the bottom off and then replaced the top half so it still seals around the cap, so the master then holds 5x more fluid.

You should never put a hole in the rubber seal, it flexes when the clutch pedal is pressed and acts as a barrier against moisture getting into the oil. The oil is hygroscopic so attracts water from the air, that is the reason for the little hole in the top of the cap, to allow the movement of air when the clutch pedal is pushed and released.

Oh! So why does other cars not have the same rubber?

I done it that way, left the rubber in the reservoir so once it overflowed the system was full, just put a rag to catch the overflow. (you could have a helper observe the footwell) I read the instructions to do it from the master cylinder and thought stuff that.
