After crawling around under the footwell like a squirrel trying to find his nuts, pushing the clutch, feeling for the creek, spraying randomly with lubricant, i located the problem.
I could not get to the nut for it, but basically as you look up at the clutch in the footwell there is 2 shafts that push into the bulkhead, a very small and larger piston type rod............it turns out it wasnt these :(
After nearly giving up i saw a metal support that ran from behind steering column, up to dash where it was bolted, then down to bulkhead, securing near to where larger piston was, in a kind of upside down V, thin and flat, about inch wide, by about 4mm deep, by about 40cm - 50cm long.
As i could not get to the bolt, unless i removed by left shoulder, i decided, that i would give it a slight bend, to bring tension back into it as it was slightly lose, causing the creak/squeek.
Cured!
Happy!!
Voila!!!
That noise had slowly started to eat away at my soul.
