its a shimano tiagra 9 speed double. any advice, links to buy stuff (prefer CRC as they are the nearest to me) would be much appreciated.

    What makes you so sure it is the bb? Every click and creak on a bike sound like it is from the bb, IME they rarely are.

    Does it go when you are out of the saddle?

    nope nothing to do with being in or out of the saddle. even rotating the cranks while it was up on its stand i felt a click when the cranks where almost parallel. i had got it greased recently but that didnt help & the pedals (speedplay zeros) were greased,well im certain its the bb as its when im pedalling up hill the creaking clicking sound begins.

    Assuming it's a square taper this is what you want. Just get the length to match your present one -
