Oh dear, again the Clutch Slave Cylinder CBC9674 is no longer available from the UK, and apparently only FTE versions are available from eBay, listed for GBP162. However, Repair Kit (BAU4781A), virtually two pieces of rubber (marked "Made in England"), is still available for GBP 4 to 5 a set. Am wondering which one to go for, after my bad experience of premature failure of the FTE clutch master.

The mechanic also found out why the clutch was so heavy. With the clutch master cylinder removed the pedal was still too strong to push. He said the workshop that installed the foot pedals and the clutch kit onto Rose a few years ago had over-twisted the spring by one or a half turn. This cannot be corrected unless and until the whole assembly (brake booster, the clutch master and the pedal box) is removed and re-installed.
