Is it the clutch basket?
Have you been through water in it lately

@lynall Can you squirt brake cleaner up the bell housing drain hole to see if it makes a difference? (of course once it evaporates it may squeak again)

We did go through a couple of fords at the weekend.
I am going to hazard a guess it's the fingers on the pressure plate returning when lifting the foot of the clutch.
Does that sound feasible?

Yep… can’t watch video again(crap signal) but does it only make the noise 1 way?

It might be but we did fit the "uprated" one when the clutch was fitted, so would like to think it's not that.
If it doesn't fix itself then the only option is take it apart and have a look I guess.

Did the updated arm have metal welded on the rear of the pivot point?
 
Just shy of £1000 for fitting a new clutch, if paying for it.
Unfortunately we have nowhere to do it now, so may well have to pay it!

I think you should be able to do one in an afternoon if all the bolts come out nicely therefor could do it on the side of the road easily enough with an engine crane through the passenger door.

It's got a long bell housing Lt77 which is a big, long heavy lump to be swinging around at the side of the road.
I was contemplating taking the transfer box off then the gearbox but I don't know if I can be bothered.
Last time we took the engine out, it was in the workshop on the farm so had plenty of space and didn't matter how much mess we made.

You dont need to remove it. You can just slide it all back about 6inches and sit the bell housing on the gearbox crossmember it’s how I did my last clutch change all be it in the resident car park rather than the side of the road.

Interesting, I am hoping there will never be a next time.
My son has booked it in at Graham Goodyer 4x4 to get it done.
It his money, I am probably too tight to pay it.
 
It's done and some what annoyingly there doesn't seem to be any obvious problem to me. They did mention the release arm/fork pivot being rusty, not convinced. There is quite a pronounced groove in the fingers on the pressure plate where the bearing has been sat on it.
Oh well, son is happy to have it back and it's quiet in operation.
Wading plugs will get fitted next time it goes through water.
 
It's perfectly possible to do gearbox out work at the side of the road, because I've done it. The main disadvantage is having to hide all your tools every time you go in for a pee or to put the kettle on. I've got a little transmission lift that I use for this sort of thing so it doesn't even stick out the side and get in the way of passing traffic.

Anyway, it's all done now, so should be OK for a few dozen more miles until something else starts squeaking.

I hope it never needs doing again. Although it wasn't without drama so maybe I will do it next time.
