I had this happen after 50 000km - LR dealer would lubricate it, it would fix it for several months but come back. Eventually they replaced the entire pedal assembly....that was the only fix that lasted....

Well if you are into DIY, you can open up the bonet. There is housing attached to the bulkhead that holds the clutch pedal, on top of the housing are 6 screws, remove them, then you can see the top of the pedal. Put a few drops of oil on the bit that squeaks and bingo - no more annoying noise... well not from the clutch anyway!

Mine has it's own cure..............every so often the master cylinder leaks, first shown by a drip of fluid on the top of your boot and then a fluid mark on the mat. If the mark is added to over 2 days then I need to top up the reservoir otherwis it just dries up and you leave it, very much"If it 'aint broke then don't fix it". My 90 used to drive me mad with its squeak and had to be manually lubed every month Rolling Eyes

My current Puma pedal has suffered from a squeaky pedal every now and again especially before the spring decided to ping off the pedal some months ago. There is a plastic sleeve in the pedal in which the spring sits, the last time it started to squeak I just put a drop of thick oil on it and it's been fine ever since but it is one of the things on my warranty list the next time it goes in for a service Steve.

Had exactly the same problem. Whatever I lubricated it with it would still squeak. At the 12k service they said they couldn't get it to do it. Once I'd told them 'rubbish, it does it EVERY time', they went away and fixed it. They just lubricated it but I've no idea what with. That was 1000+ miles ago and it's fine still. D300 HSE 110

I bet they used lithium spray grease. That stuff gets everywhere and stays there. All dealers use it to shut people up and make them go away (a Mitsubishi main dealer mechanic told me that !)
