Hey
I only noticed this a couple of days ago. Sometimes when I pull away in first there is a squeak noise, this doesnt happen all the time and does not effect the way the car drives. I'm no mechanic but could this be a warning sign that my clutch is starting to go ? or is it something that might need lubricated ? Please help me the best you can the squeak only lasts for a second if that. thanks

A worn clutch usually makes a sort of rattling sound if it makes a sound. Normally it just slips.
The sound and conditions you describe seems like a suspension sound.
Try to locate if it comes from the back or front. Then take some wd40 or some other penetrating lube and spray it on various rubber suspension points and other swivel point of your suspension. Also. don't forget the top of your struts in the engine compartment. Note that it will only help for a short while. To pinpoint the location go from point to point. If you do them all at once, you'll never know which one it is. For a long term solution the point that squeeks has to be taken apart and lubed with some vaseline, white grease or any other good solid like lube.
Please don't spray any on your braking parts!

Thank you for the help ! ill leave feedback as to if it still continues, if it makes any difference ive recently had camber arms fitted and im looking into getting coilovers next month so we shall see if the noise continues
You're welcome.
If the camber arms are the upper front onces it could be the bushes placed on the inner side of the strutt dome.
Since it's the newest up-date on your car its most likely they are the culprits.
To test them, just jack the front up and spray some lube on them. When you're going to do the coilovers it would be easiest to proberly lube them then. They're bolted with two nuts at the strutt dome under your hood. Just take the bushing from the arm which is connected by two bolts and nuts.
If you need any more help, just let me know. Happy to help.
Best of luck
