The cable started making a squeaking noise when I depress the pedal. The clutch pedal also has a stepping motion to it rather than a fluid one. It was like it when I got the car and hasn't got worse and doesn't effect gear changes, there is no crunching, etc, just a bit annoying getting the biting point smoothly.

Seized cable or is it at the end of it's life? Would a regrease do the trick?

Try regreasing it and the pedal pivot point.
Or just put in a new cable Smile

Where exactly do I spray? I can obviously see part of the cable in the engine bay but that's about it. It seems to be a sealed cable anyway. Should I just blast it all over with spray grease and then spray up into the clutch pedal from inside the car?

I am thinking of getting it changed anyway next month as it's the original and I've just gone past 70k. Not loads of miles but probably enough to warrant a fresh cable.

I just sprayed under the pedals in the car with WD40, worked for a week or so lol..

Obviously dont spray on the faces of the pedals themselfs tho, you dont want to be doing the irish river dance whils't trying to change gear.

I just sprayed the pedal and the length of cable that I can see/reach in the engine bay. Made no difference so looks like I will bang a new one in there soon.
