The clutch will likely be the cable. They get stiff over time, At the best it'll just need a grease or renewing. At the worst the cable will be eating its way through the bulkhead - Check in the engine bay where the cable pulls through as they are known for acting like a hacksaw and cutting a line in the metalwork. Mine creaks, had a new cable, new clutch/release bearing and the bulkhead is perfect. I've looked at it and just put it down to an old car and likely be the pedal itself, where it joins the steering column transmitting flex up to the dashboard creating a creak. It's charm!

Plate like this, usually comes with double sided tape on the back so you can just stick the thing on with out the need to weld etc, the cable will also hold it in place.
Lots of places sell them, GSF did used to sell them as well.

Battery light, check the earths and connections are clean and making good contact. Clean the contacts for the bushes as well.
See if that makes any difference.
How old is your battery?
