Does it do it if you put the clutch down?

[Riggy]

when you say sucking air from somewhere - have you heard this

if so check that the servo hose from the inlet manifold to the brake servo is in good condition and not leaking

i had the exact same problem when i had my nova. What happened was the pierberg 2e carb that comes on em gets shitty and clogged up easily. i just got a second had reconditioned carb from a used parts store and swapped em over. This def fixed the problem and for the sake of 20 quid was easy cause it was only three bolts and a few hoses. This may not fix your problem but its worth a try. i would get the timing set up correctly by a garage after replacing the carb because the fuel/air mixture needs to be right or it will be rough and sound crap.

Let me know if this helps.
