Is it knackered? :'(
-
If it is anything like mine then it may well be just the heat shield around rattling. not to much of a problem I think.
Some people strap it on with a couple of jubilee clips.

It could be starting to break up inside, i have had this on a couple of other inferior cars. Its not too much of a problem until it blocks the exhaust, restricting the flow of gasses and causing the car to run rough and restricting the power so it wont let get any speed up.

I had rattling on my first Omega, and yes it was the cats going!! :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
After trying for ages to find what was rattling on ours (2.0), I finally discovered a wonderfully-designed stone trap in the underbody heatshield just to the nearside of the point where the handbrake system splits into two separate cables.
The heatshield has a sort of saucer shape area that seems designed to store forever any little (or bigger) stones that manage to find their way in. (Then rattle like the proverbial skeleton w***ing in a biscuit tin)
If on the other hand, you've shaken the cat itself and that is definitely what is rattling, ignore all of what I've just described. :)

Rattly heatshield, either fixed by a carefull hoseclamp or a spot of clever weld as required....
-
Looks like I'll be spending a lovely morning under the mig tomorrow.
-
Been under it now. And the heat shield is definetly not the source of the rattle. If I hit the cat it makes the noise and sounds like all the inside is loose :'(
Could this do and damage if left for a while because I'm in collage and can't afford spending my hard sponged earned money.
-
A new cat buddy! Its a shame its a 2.0 as I have a nearly new 2.5 sitting here for not a lot of money. I'd even have helped you fit it.
-
Mine went same way F****t , didnt have time to go round up a replacement went to local exhaust shop in town ctr, replaced the left one on my 3litre V6
£112.44 fitted............
didnt think it was too bad but you will tell me diffo no doubt ::)
-
Could have had mine for £60. Its done less than 100 miles!
-
Postage of a cat could be a slight problem :D
-
Plus fitting it sure nearly will be £100 at end of it

I think for now I'd be better off getting it cut out and welding a straight through downpipe, until I get my collage grant in november.
