Just put my disco slave back on and won't bleed up. Thinking master is no good

You'd think they would if they are the same diameter bore.

Will re fit it tomorrow then. Pedal just felt terrible, wondering if its the master now

Sounds like a likely candidate. I have been guilty of this myself but the general rule is change both at the same time, but it's such a PITA to do both!!

Thing is the master is only about 3000km old, was only upgrading to a larger bore slave

I think the quality of the mc's these days leave a lot to be desired.

Put the truck slave back on and re bled, all good😊.
Would be nicer to get a bit more travel from the floor before the clutch releases. Any idea??

So you're after a bit more up pedal from the floor before it engages?
As I see it, unless you've got extra free-play at the top of the pedal travel there's not a lot you can do.
You're got a longer pedal stroke as the slave is larger (to give you lighter pedal), and anything you do to reduce that stroke (ie larger bore master, longer distance between master pushrod and pivot point, or smaller slave) is going to put you back to where you started
