Turns out it was the master cylinder - somehow the piston jammed (broken
spring??). As soon as I started loosening the line to the slave cylinder
fluid sprayed everywhere and the clutch engaged with a clang! I rebuilt my
spare master cylinder and refitted it, but I will have to wait for clear
weather to bleed it. ;-( Any bleeding tips greatly appreciated! I may try
the bicycle pump method as I have a spare cap.

Thanks to all who replied!
