I've just given that a try and the sqeak seems less audible. The clutch bite is spot on and crisp. If it is the clutch thrust bearing do you think it may eventually get better with wear or is a replacement the only option?

Try it again, it may be that soft driving has polished the bearing


Thanks for your advice. I'll give it a go. The car has done about a 1000 miles a year from new and cosseted throughout its life. Next time I'll take it out I'll wring its neck a bit! 😉
