Thank you both. I'm leaning towards sports cats at the moment.
I phoned TPS for a laugh and they quoted £935 + VAT. There was also a surcharge of £175 + VAT until my old cat is returned

Though to be fair I knew it was going when I bought the car, so it was factored into the purchase price. Bit the bullet and did it properly when the noise got unbearable a year or so later. Though for the £175 (or whatever it was at the time) all they got back was an empty shell with a small lump of ceramic rattling around inside.  No MOT emissions problems though or errors logged, even though I was effectively only running on one cat of two.

I think I'm not far from this stage. I'd be worried if I returned it they would say "excuse me sir, is this supposed to be a cat?"

Another day, another recovery
  Lost all power yesterday afternoon, couldn't go faster than 10mph car temperature went up rapidly and was mis-firing badly. Suspect the offside cat is completely clogged now. Car is getting parked up now while I work out what I want to do.

Not again mate
this was the car i put a note on in portsmouth to buy sounds like a mare at the moment! hope you get it sorted out soon, like Andrew said to me when i was complaining about my coolant leak last week from the oil cooler, these cars demand significant initial investment to us new owners!Half expecting this problem now and gearbox failure

Aww crap
The cats are off my FE at the moment if you need something to get you going again short term while you sort out a permanent solution?

It appears I'm going through rough patch every few months and can't seem to catch a break. It's annoying because I know the cars been looked after prior to my ownership so I'm trying to look at it like you say, high initial investment upfront followed by many years of bliss I pray you don't get this issue - I saw your threads on the coolant leak and lambda issues so let's hope that's it for you
