build up of clutch dust?
bit like when you get build up of brake dust and your brakes squeek 
unless you have a inspection panel on your gearbox......or a spare few hours to remove and refit gearbox & clutch.....or like paying rip off garage prices.......just gotta live with it

If its the pedal then it just needs lube, standard Vauxhall feature that.

Pretty much every Vauxhall ends up with this at some stage.
Have a look at the linkage on the pedal and squirt some oil about until it stops.
