Odd issue with the Volvo..

[viper_2003]

This reminds me why I felt it was a sensible idea to move on my 136k S60 D5 which was on its original master cylinder, clutch and DMF. The whole lot is pretty expensive to change.

Is the slave a lot harder to replace than the master then, probably an ignorant question.

Master is bolted to the bulkhead, the slave is inside the bellhousing of the gearbox.
Engine mounts, linkages, hoses, wiring and gearbox has to come off to change it, so slightly yes.
