SW20 clutch master cylinder wanted urgently in Sydney

My clutch master cylinder has been sitting around dry for a few months and I tried to bleed it today and I wasn't able to get much fluid to go through.
The pedal kept going to the floor. I assume that the piston has seized in the bore and the spring can't push it back.
I'm going to take it out tomorrow and have a look though if any of you have one in Sydney you want to sell, please let me know as I need it tomorrow.
My car is booked in for a dyno tune on Monday night so I need it to be working before then.
Thanks!

    Keep persisting with it mate sometimes they can be hard to start bleeding Bleed the Master cylinder first
    if that comes up and pumps fluid it will bleed up they sometimes can take a while.
    I have a spare clutch mastercylinder here in the hunter valley NSW if you need one
     
    Cheers

    Thanks Phil. I did end up fixing it.
    I pulled the MC out to test it and it was fine, so put it back in and tried bleeding again with no success.
    In the end, I got a small plastic funnel and put it upside down on the MC bottle and then stuck my compressed air blower in the end of the funnel and gently put air pressure into it and it forced the fluid through the line and took the air bubbles with it.
    This worked very well though you need to be VERY careful not to release too much air as it will blow the fluid everywhere.
     
    The other option is to use a vacuum bleeder, which is effectively the opposite of what I did to bleed it. Bleeding the traditional way just doesn't work.
