So I've noticed my brake peddle getting progressively long. Pump the brakes at traffic lights and you can easily pump to the floor. Im also getting a brake pad warning light (pads have plenty of life) and I'm using brake fluid. So the master cylinder looks to be at fault.

But I can't source a new one! Plenty of second hand units on eBay. Euro car parts don't stock it, and I'm not even going to attempt the dealer!

So where do I find a new one, and what are they like to fit? The Haynes manual suggests it's straight forward....any help much appreciated
