Just about to drive into my street, and the engine cut out, just figured it wasn't warm enough yet, started her back up and away she went.
Pulled up to my driveway and she cut out again, this time not so much luck starting!
Sat for a little and then tried it again, got it going, it won't idle at all, revs are very irratic, tried to reverse up my driveway but it couldn't even make enough power?
Drove down the street couldn't rev past 3k, got a run up and just made it up my driveway, she cut out and I let her roll back into the garage, only to turn the light on and see smoke coming from under her?
Looked underneath and my cat was glowing red!
Can someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with my engine now?
It just manages to start, it backfires, sounds like shit, won't idle unless I have my foot on the accelerator and even then its a very crazy idle, it won't rev past 3k, can't even make enough power to reverse up my driveway and my cat is glowing!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Thanks to anyone that can offer advice and help!
Cheers.

Maybe your fuel filter clogged up, d/c your fuel filter and and conect both fuel lines with a clamp start it if it runs well again you know what the problem was.

take the cat out, youve killed it... again
even one afterburn of fuel into the exhaust can fuck a cat up pretty easily 
id bee looking at tuning your engine to not run so rich if i were you.

best option is probably a multi fit cstom HKS banana.. they come with stickers...
glowing cat = blocked... are you runnign rich??? rich + cat = melted cat = blocked = glowing..
pull the fucker off and have a look thru.... it's rooted....
check mixtures without cat, and then replace with new cat...

Thanks for all the help! The bananna has been removed!
The farken ECU decided to fuck out, tried the spare and its all good now!
Is there any way that I can now check if I did any damage to my cat? I can't really just bolt it off, cause the guy who did my exhaust was a lazy bastard and only put a flange at the end of the extractors. Will I just take the fact that its running normal again a good sign that no damage was done?
Thanks again for the help.
Cheers.

you still haven't addressed the problem of the cat that's most likely melted
"rich + cat = melted cat = blocked = glowing"
take to proper exhaust shop, get 2nd flange fitted, replace cat if stuffed.
