Done a little more home diagnosis.
it doesn't make any noises being pushed around.
I've eliminated the hugger as even wiggling it about (which you can't really do without abnormal force anyway) won't foul the rear tyre, so its not that.
so its looking like engine related possibly. Been sat on it revving and there is a tickety tappety chuggety noise which appears to come from the top left hand side of the engine and increases on revs. but then that could be normal.
I will try the chain pull anyway, just in case. I'd be quite relieved if its just needing new C+S, I've been expecting them to want doing at some point. but as its not done it while being pushed I don't know. but then I'm not pushing with the force of the engine either.
