Definitely sounds as if the master cylinder seals have gone (or flipped) Possibly a rebuild kit required or a complete cylinder (not as £horrific as it sounds)

Easy peasy really ... check out my post viewtopic.php?f=4&t=144761 - definitely worth considering the bigger cylinder but both sizes available cheaply. Colin

They are all interchangeable between Mk3, Mk4 and Mk5 as far as I am aware. I put a Mk5 one on my 1989 Mk3.
