• Peugeot 308 SW 2000 - Clutch Problems Peugeot 308 9 Jan 2019 (Forum)
  There are no strange noises coming from the clutch as far as I can hear.

The Peugeot garage seem to think that it is some dirt on the rod that is causing friction and have treated the problem with some goos old WD40, which seems to have helped but not eradicated the problem.
