Anyone done a clutch master cylinder replacement?

So I've got myself one of them ol' clutch master cylinders, because, yeah......pedal to the floor action in the middle of rush hour 

Thing is, the new one doesn't move...like, at all!  I can push on the rod as hard as hell and the piston doesn't move. Is that normal?  Does the clutch position sensor energise some kind of solenoid or something?

I don't want to go through the faff of putting it in if it's faulty.  Any tips?

Not a clue sorry  but as its Darkside retailer I'd email/call them. I've rung/emailed before and just asked for general advice and Ryan one of the twin owners who does the racing and YouTube videos is a VAG geek like the rest of us and is just happy to talk and give good advice whether you're a paying customer or not I've found.

Cheers chap    Yeah they're great.  I'm glued to their YT videos!  Obviously been watching all of their VAG/BMW diesel mod videos lately off the back of my other thread  If I do end up with a 335d or something, that is where I'll be taking it 

I'm probably just being a dumb arse and it's not moving because it needs the leverage of your foot on a pedal, but my intuitive and questioning mind just says it should move freely when not connected to anything 

Oh well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I fit the sodding thing
