I concure and the freaky thing is mine went on my coupe at 144k, fitting is
a nightmare, however I ended up angle grinding a square hole just behind the
main bulkhead in the area that the wipers / fuses etc sit, so that I could
get access.  If your lucky there should be a raised oblong right above the
area of the clutch master cylinder, thats the bit you can cut.

Bleeding the system is another pig, fitting hands into the area where the
bleed valve is, is awkward at the best of times.  A trick I was shown to get
air out of a new clutch master cyl was to engage clutch and then just slide
you foot off the side so the pedal shoots back up, doing this repeatedly
will loosen all air bubbles from the cylinder.  Sorry if you have heard this
all before, if you haven't it,s bloody handy to know.
