Just did min too. You haven't used enough oil unless there are oil stains on the rubber mat under the pedal

^ it was dripping in.... not a huge amount.
Do you get someone to press the clutch inside? while squirting it as I was doing it on my own. Squirt then press clutch, Hopefully it will sort itself after a drive tomorrow. otherwise I will do it again...  |

^ No, did it the same way. Give it some time to penetrate, otherwise repeat...

It's not always the pivot so try this:
Open the drivers door and from outside the vehicle take a look at the clutch pedal - see the spring [overcentre type on later vehicles] some way up the pedal shaft? Apply a drop of lubricant / service spray where the spring acts on the pedal. Keep an eye and make sure that by dropping mineral oil onto the pivot you keep it away from the master cylinder itself - especially the rubber bits. Steve.

http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic22839....eky+clutch You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

^ That's interesting
Does having the bleed nipple though just bypass undoing the 6 screws and squirting oil in? Should mine have that 'blank' Thanks |

^^I've fitted a grease nipple there on some previous vehicles but while a worthwhile, cheap and simple mod the problem often lays with the spring

Ok so oily rag under pedal and squirted 3 in 1 all round where I normally do ( undo the 6 screws under engine..... Squirt) and I squirted a lot.
Every time previously this has worked but NO So head under steering wheel as I push the clutch in with hand and squirt the spring also (and anything else I can see that could be causing a squeal attached to pedal) STILL squeaking....... Aaarrggghhh any other options? |

I sprayed mine with lithium grease from the inside and this worked a treat.

Both ends of the spring? Next would be check the security of the pedal box fastenings but I'd still put money on the spring.
BTW as I said before you don't want to get mineral oil [like 3 in 1 ] near the master cylinder pushrod at the rubber boot end or the boot itself. Steve.

^ I'm guessing the amount of WD40 and 3 in 1 I've tipped down this its inevitable that some has gone beyond the rubber?
not much I can do about that now I guess? I think its the spring also but at a loss how to solve it now  and its annoying...
This isn't my car but shows where I have squirted stuff...

That plastic insert in the pedal circled in yellow is a favourite spot as the insert can wear or breakdown. The spring coils themselves can also creak and groan too. There is a knack to removing the spring for a check over, it's more fiddly than difficult.
WD40 is more of a water repellent than a lubricant, if what you are using hasn't worked then try something else like a spray white grease but only use it sparingly inside the pedal box itself and keep the stuff away from the master cylinder! If I were you I'd give the pushrod and rubber dust boot a thorough wipe over, the danger with using lubricant in that area is that some might get drawn into the cylinder bore which won't do the piston seals any favours.
