As you said, losing no fluid probably means the hydraulic system is intact and so more likely something metal at one end or another has broken / come off.

That was definitely the answer I wanted, but it seems that it isn't the actual answer. And now it turns out the actual answer is the more important of the two. I've booked it in at my friendly local garage as it must be slave cylinder related. :-( Ta for your help Steve

The slave is a really major job to do and rather expensive. master cylinder is much cheaper and easier, so cross your fingers.
