Take the spring off - and whilst your wife isn't watching - go into the kitchen - and heat a small amount of cooking oil in a saucepan (don't have to use extra virgin olive stuff ) not too hot and pop the spring in - and leave it to simmer for about 1/2 hour.

Worked for me on a previous vehicle I had

hmm......low fat spring recipes.......

I sprayed Lubrice on mine insitu. I put a rag at the bottom to catch any drops. Sofar 12 months and no more squeaks. No other spray worked.

Take spring off....fill it full of Stika-flex...put back on.....won't work real well but won't make noise either ...........Stikka-flex Just love that stuff, must see whether they make a ediable version.

yep, i have the same problem on my series III, I have not been able to stop it by giving it a lube, I might just go to bunnings and buy a spring of similar size see if that stops it The return spings on my brake shoes make the same noise, but i dont think i will be spaying any lube around them

Have you tried Castrol Chain Lube? It seems to be graphite in suspension & the solvent medium dries out leaving just the graphite.

Actually on the D1 the spring broke & I was advised on here, I think, just to leave it as it does not appear to be essential as the clutch pressure takes up all the slack anyway.

So, I did. Been fine.

Put a river rock in the pan with it, when the rock softens the spring is ready to eat

I suffer from squeaky clutch pedal too. Will try the chain lube fix and if necessary I'll saute.
