The random nature sounds to me VERY much like the master cylinder need
rebuilding/replacing. Less likely to be the slave cylinder, if that had
an intermittent seal you'd be losing fluid, and you say the reservoir is
full (I assume that means you haven't had to top it up?).
I just went through my clutch system - had to replace the slave because
the bleed nipple snapped off rather than turning :-(. With the new
slave it just wouldn't bleed successfully. I blamed the master and
replaced it - still wouldn't bleed right. Until I turned my brain on
and noticed that the bleed nipple is at the bottom of the slave, so any
air in the slave cannot get out!! Removed the two bolts holding the
slave on, tipped it so the bleed nipple was uppermost, bled a nice load
of air out, re-fit slave, all is fine now!! Spent 50-odd quid replacing
a M/C that was probably perfectly OK :-(.
I guess most people out there already know this, but I thought I'd
mention it in case anyone didn't!
