Ok., so we have a winner !

Removed the exhaust manifold and ran it up the road, and the power is back to normal (normal for a 1.3...).

Thanks Yakusa for the comment.

Not sure where your based, but if you have a Wetherspoons pub near you let me know and I'll have a beer sent to your table (other beverages are allowed).

off to order me a new exhaust !

Norway so no such service here due to the strict and strange laws on alcohol. :)
Grateful for the thought and when in Britain I'll catch you up on that if we meet :)
I removed the broken cat element inside my manifold and replaced the cat no2 with a "halfords" generic aftermarket cat. Cost was just 75£ -ish.
Now i get a check engine light once every 2-3 months or so but with a bluetooth OBD2 adapter I clear faults on ECU on the go with the phone.
MOT so far is no problems.

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.

So the issue has been fixed.

In a single blast down the motorway something in the exhaust manifold, or possibly the pre-cat, got lose and damaged both he main cat and the rear silencer !

Whole new exhaust from the head to the tail pipe and the Jimny is back in the game.

Thanks for the help guys.
