I wish it was. it's the clutch, though - if I take the cable end out of the pivot arm and get someone to pull it while I move the pedal up and down, there's no noise at all from pedal or cable.

I've got a 1.0L 12V 3-cylinder corsa B. Had a new LUK clutch kit put in about 7 months ago at 60000 miles, done about another 8000 miles on it since then. Clutch cable snapped at the pedal end last week; I've replaced the cable and the pedal (plastic cable end retainer at top of pedal was worn and splaying under load). For the first day or two after fitting new cable it was totally smooth; then a creaking noise started coming from the clutch itself. Listening to it under the bonnet with someone else pushing the pedal, I can hear the creaking coming from under the pivot arm. I've sprayed grease and wd40 all round the pivot arm joint but no improvement. The cable/pedal are completely smooth, it's definately the clutch that's making the noise. If I leave the car to cool down overnight clutch is almost completely smooth first thing in the morning, but once it's warmed up the creaking starts. Has anyone got any ideas what might be causing the creaking?
