Not a direct reply to the above, but after about a year of creaking that no amount of spray lube or grease gunned in via the installed port would fix I went nuclear and replaced the full pedal box.
No more creak/stick in the pedal stroke and it's so much easier to finesse the clutch now. I suspect I may have an output shaft getting near the end of it's life so I'm paying closer attention to changes, pretty happy with the vehicle again 
Decided I may as well do the master cylinder as well, got new seals for around the banjo joint which subsequently leaked, didn't want to torque the clutch sensor too much (puma era) as years ago I had sheared one of them off in the process. Popped the old seals back in (10 years old, gone through multiple installs) and it was leak free again (!)  Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants... |

The clutch on my 2008 111 squeaked I just ignored it and turned up the radio, I did the clutch spring change and it stopped .
The problem was the little rubber/plastic bushes had worn away and it was metal against metal. It appeared to have bushed in but that was just larger end I could see there was nothing in the hole. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

Yes, I think those bushes are very important. I never had a squeak, but I did have a broken clutch spring which was replaced under warranty. The workshop manager noticed those "bushes" were not looking too flash, out of alignment etc, so he replaced them. Pickles. |

In the linked thread there is a long discussion about the size of the nipple (ie the thread in the end of the shaft), the general consensus being (a) that it is 6mm, and (b) that it is the same as the thread in the grease nipple holes in the propshafts. Clearly these two conclusions are mutually exclusive since the thread in the propshaft holes is 1/4" UNF and not 6mm. it is likely that you can force a 6mm nipple into a 1/4" UNF hole since a 6mm coarse thread has a 1mm pitch (conveniently therefore 25.4 tpi) and 1/4 UNF is 28tpi. I've done some digging into the origins of the shaft, and the Puma clutch pedal pivot shaft, p/n 272712 actually first appeared with introduction pendant-mounted pedals on the SII in 1958/9 and has been the same part (and the same part number) ever since. In Series days, the hole in the end of the shaft was plugged with a hex head setscrew, p/n 255202, which has had various descriptions in the parts books over the years, the most descriptive being "Oil plug for pedal shaft". As far as I can determine, 255202 is a 1/4" UNF x 3/8" long hex setscrew. I suspect that it is only in recent times that the dreaded bean counters insisted that the screw was replaced with a blob of sealant. I do find it amusing that long after the owner's manual stopped telling the owner to remove the retaining screw, fit a nipple, inject oil, remove the nipple, and replace the retaining screw, JLR was STILL buying shafts which were fully machined to support proper lubrication! There are at least three machining operations needed on the shaft which are completely redundant, although handy for those of use with squeaky pedals. |
