Can someone tell me what the two holes in the master cylinder reservoir do please.

The big hole is to let fluid into the cylinder to be pumped, the small hole is to allow a small amount of fluid back into the res' when you release the lever so the brake piston can back off a little, if its blocked you will have drag. Commonly known as a "spooge hole"
