The rod wobbling around is more than likely behaving that way as it provides a means for it to allign for assy and operation.
Look, it is a bit hard to see bore condition but really it is probaly getting past it so might be easier and cheaper in the long run to buy that new master and slave cyl (trouble free for a while). What ever way you choose flush your lines with new fluid prior to hooking up to slave. Gunk and moisture is more than likely to be in the line.
Awesome thanks heaps for all the info guys i do appreciate it as im a very novice mechanic, will put the new master on purchase and see how we go fingers crossed

OK if only Master Cyl, still disconnect at line at slave cyl and flush the sys thru with new brake fluid very well and then hook up slave and bleed.

As above, but go ahead and use the air compress on the line when it is disconnected from both ends, then flush it out thoroughly with fluid before reconnecting it.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Considering there appears to have been a blockage (more than likely though at m/cyl), but to prevent any crud at all that may be present in the actual line from plugging up with the force of the compressed air. It maybe safer to first attempt a flush thru with brake fluid using the m/cyl then air and back to fluid to get rid of any moisture from condesation?

Have you bled the air out of the system?

Did you prime the master before fitting ? How is the flex hose , does it bulge when the peddle is pushed , did you bleed it at the slave ? Is the slave doing it's thing ? That gunk will be in the whole system .
