3 months ago I cleaned/lubed the point where the slave actuator rod meets the clutch fork & it worked a treat . . . . up until now :/ Strange thing is that it's stopped squeaking again but I'm sure not for long.

I'm no expert on this but I'm guessing as it gets so damn dusty/dirty under hood so quickly on these cars that the paint/coating on the fork receptacle has scratched & started to corrode where the ball end of the actuator meets/touches as a result of scuffing which I reckon is causing the squeak. Cleaning the area of all contaminated grease & re-greasing it seems a temporary fix unless I protect the area of dirt.

When that squeak comes back I will clean/lube as done previously (see foot of p13 as per quoted @Ultramaroon instructions) & figure out a solution to prevent anymore dirt attaching itself to the fresh grease - worth a try I guess.
