This had no effect on the stiffness or the squeak, so the investigation moved to under the bonnet. To access the top of the clutch pedal there is a small plate on the pedal box is located with 6 screws.
Removing these screws reveals the master cylinder push-rod:
The full clutch pedal assembly diagram from the workshop manual is shown here:
The application of some 3-in-One oil to the push rod attachement point (labelled 2 in the above picture) completely removed the squeak and greatly reduced the stiffness of the clutch pedal.
This is gold information? i'll be sorting this problem out tomorrow.
