I would do the master regardless, that way if you get a 2.1 it looks good and you have an even better chance of funding the following year. Also, you will be known in the department, and so will hear of funded PhDs coming up more readily. We have a girl, a MSc student, who was accepted to do her PhD this year, but decided to do the MSc first and will do her project linked to what she will do her PhD on, so you could do it both ways (but she did her undergraduate at my department, so may have had more flexibility).
