I have had a cat fall to bits and block the pipe before on a 1.3 Suzuki Carry.

maybe the gearbox has had it, if it revs freely in N and free wheels ok and doesnt get hot its got to be the box

Sounds very much like a blocked cat, they disintegrate and can weld the internals to the casing.

Thanks for your ideas. I imagine the only way to know if its the cat is to change it. I don't think it's the box as it seems to be behaving normally. The car had been standing for a couple of months and it was after that that the problem occurred.

get some one to hold the revs at 2000rpm and feel what is coming out the exhaust

you could take the cat off and see how it runs might be abit loud or when its off see if you can see down the pipe to the cat
