Well spent today messing about and changing the clutch master cylinder and after bleeding it.... Still no clutch... And I get a whine and when I put the clutch down sometimes.... So whats next? Does this point to the clutch fingers? or the slave? Im changing the box anyway so will I be able to see if its the fingers?

If you're changing the box then it will be very easy to see whether the fingers are OK - also, if the slave is leaking you should see evidence of that. TBH though, if you're going to the trouble of changing the box surely it's worth changing the slave seals and refreshing the clutch?
The problem I have is that I only have a ramp for 2 days, so will need to pre-order the parts I need to get her fixed.... If I get these will I be sorted for most occurrences?

Glad you found the cause of your problems!
I'd separate the slave by using hydraulic pressure; either attach the slave to the hydraulic pie again and use the clutch pedal or use a grease gun filled with brake fluid.
Check that the slave bore isn't unduly scored, otherwise it'll just fail again very quickly. Also, note the orientation of the slave within the bellhousing.
Finally, once you've got it all back together again, I'd adjust the clutch pedal to reduce the amount of throw that you get on the slave as too much will overextend the fingers and they break...

Just in case no-one has told you, whne you reassemble the slave:-
1) make sure that the bleed holes in the outer ring are at 6 and 12 o'clock - otherwise you won't be able to bleed it correctly.
2) When you replace the piston, slide it in so that the seal doesn't pass over the two holes I mentioned in 1)
