If it's sounding a bit rough is it struggling to pick up as you drive away?
Yup, sounds rough when pulling away but then clears - I'll check the movement of the carb pistons when I get home from work.

Only change in performance is related to the rough running of the engine & I'm pretty sure that the brakes aren't binding as I can easily push the car.
