HELLO ALL!
LONG TIME NO HERE!!! HOW IS EVERYBODY!?!?!
I have a problem with my cable clutch, it's started making a squeaky noise when I press the pedal down, it's equally as noisy when I let off with my foot.
Anyone had the same issue? If so... How did you resolve it... Cannot find any posts relating to this.
Cheers =]

Replace the cable and sheath
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Check for squeeky footware - I had that problem on a Ford! after replacing the clutch cable I realised my shoes were creaking

Come to think of it, it could also be the pedal hinge or spring - disconnect the cable and try it

Cheers Guys!
Bur err... A bit of work's WD40 (as I'm still here) seems to have done the trick, leaving it for a few hours to penetrate, then off @ 6pm.
If it comes back, will take your advice.
You guys are the bollocks... you can tell your wives now ;) someone else has said it XD lol
