You dont need a clutch in a dogleg box
They are designed to have the need of no clutch

Anyone who has owned an older Ford with the ratchet and paw self adjusting clutch learns to live without a clutch to aid gear changes very quickly. Basically you would put you foot on the clutch, hear the click and your pedal would stay on the floor. Only way to change gear was to crunch the synchromesh or learn how to change gear on the engine speed. If you get it right, it can be a smoother gear change than when you are using the clutch.
Deadeye, is the squeaking could just be the spring on the pedal or the pivot point. The biting point can vary from vehicle to vehicle. You can check if your clutch is slipping by applying the handbrake, selecting second gear and releasing the clutch pedal. If the engine stalls immediately then the clutch is fine.

I haven't done anything to the engine it is completly standard. I thought the squeaking sound was the Aux belt but that's been changed and been told from Peugeot that clutch release bearing is going.
Squeal stops when clutch is pressed in and starts again when released

Possibly the release bearing. they sometimes make a funny grateing noise before they go. When you use the clutch all the components are subject great forces and heat, these all add to the wear and tear. It sounds like your bearing has lost it's lubricant and may be biting onto the fingers of the pressure plate.

its not a tunable engine unfortunately.
i have got a BMC panel filter system and a cat back exhaust system need to get it rolling roaded to see if any increase. after that is a 4-2-1 mani and a high flow sports cat.
other then this there is no cam options or anythin. so my next port of call is attempting a remap.
