Yep, as long as it is non ABS it will fit.

What happened to your car's brake master cylinder? It is quite a rare thing to fail.

Paint has come of the bottom of the servo and pedal box is greasy hopefully this is the problem.

Bad news frown
Got home tonight went to look at the footwell and red liquidyikes
As i have removed the pedal box and M/C and cleaned up the spilt brake fluid last night i did not expect this.
The car has not been started or moved for 10 days.
Can only be A/C as i assume it will still be pressurised there must be a small leak and it finds it's lowest point to drip.
Saying that all the vinyl was wet on the transmission tunnel it appears to start at the steering shaft outlet through the bulkhead.
I have now dried the vinyl again in fact ripped most of it off the tunnel but all i see is fibreglass.
It is a watery and slightly oiley red substance maybe pag oil for aircon.
Can anyone advise as where else to look i believe the pipes come in the passenger side.

Thanks

May sound bizarre, but how oiled is your air filter? Mine dripped so much after a service that even the AA man thought I'd dumped my gearbox oil and called a low loader. Perhaps you have something similar? The steering column is a common link, it goes right under the airbox.
