Hello all,
I am aware that i have already made a topic regarding this issue but i couldnt find it when searching...
Basically when i change gear, accelerate sharply, go over bumpers or pull away with my foot on the brake (using the clutch) my car squeaks.
Its driving me mental now as it seems to have got worse?
Here are the suggestions i have had:
Exhaust bracket
Exhaust manifold
Exhaust gasket O ring
is there anything else it could be? as im going to be sorting it soon 
Cheers Jez.

Could be anyof the bushes really get it on a ramp and have a poke about.

Squeak fixed  , turned out to be the exhaust gasket O-ring that connects the manifold to the downpipe, thanks Ask  .
Involved un bolting some seized bolts and replacing those and the springs, and replacing the gasket.

OMG ive been sufferng with squeaking for about 3 months now, over every single lump and bump ...... basically its constant. Greased up the the springs and bolts on the exhaust with copper slip with no success but yours was the exhaust gasket? where the dowpipe joins the cat pipe? Isnt it like a wire mesh in between them? Any info would help lol

Think ive solved it now, Sprayed half a ton of WD40 into each bush on the lower arm and the anti roll bar and drove it in between each one........ success, its silent! turned out to be the front main bushes on the anti-roll bar. All i gotta do is work out how to take it off and lube em up with copperslip
