the stuff you use for clutch bits and so on (rather than the chassis lube stuff)
last time I used some castrol stuff that my dad had left, but its almost all gone
(the tin must be 30 years old!) any ideas ? / what do new cars use ?
cheers

I think Castrol LM or Copaslip is usually used.
Maybe this is a good alternative:

Copaslip is not suitable for anything needing lubrication, it is anti seize and dries out into a sticky mess if used where it gets wiped backwards and forwards. I've never used grease or oil for clutch parts, clutch dust sticks to it and causes problems.

As you say, clutch parts often don't need lubrication but maybe he needs an anti-seize due to the fact that out cars spend a long time sitting. The tiniest amount would suffice - not enough to generate sticky messes. Maybe it's intended for a linkage/release application.
