People say replace the crap BM bushes with nylon ones, but i kept the original bushes and coated them with graphite grease, that was 2 years ago and the creak has not returned.

After much lubing of the springs that made no difference I checked really close and found it was the plastic pin on the clutch pedal switch that was causing the squeek. A dab of grease on the small metal tab cured it.
