When I engage or disengage the accelerator pedal there is a short sharp squeak, seems to be from the back end of the car?
Ps, have searched, just no probelms seem to be the same :/

It's literally just a short sharp squeak as I engage or disengage the throttle ..

does it squeak when you are stationary and when the engine is off?
Mine has a small squeal and it's the connection between the pedal and cable i think, just can't be bothered to get head under dash yet

I don't think it makes the noise with the engine off or in neutral when it's on. I know it sounds weird but could it be something to do with the back suspension as that squeaks when going over big bumps or taking corners fast..

Hey, I think i have the same problem, touching the acc pedal v slightly and the car squeaks. I asked the guy who did my MOT and he said its probably is the exhaust manifold. Apparently its on springs to accommodate movement, and thats what is squeaking. I think he said replacing the springs fixed the noise. I need to sort this out too before I sell the car.
Hope this helps.

Ok thanks for that, odd seeing as I got a whole new exhaust about a month ago. You'd of thought they would change the springs! Ha.
