I've decided to email MBS of Southampton to have my car booked in and checked out since the exhaust system and/or heat shield is rattling, and annoying the hell out of me. I will update this thread to let everyone know how it goes but first I need to hear back from them as I've only just Emailed them and not expecting a quick reply since it's the weekend.
Anyway, this rattle started out not over two weeks ago as a very faint noise, and it got progressively louder with each day where now it rattles on idle (when the engine is warm at least) and during a different range of Rpm's. I'm hoping it's not the Cats gone bust but after lifting the car up myself today and looking underneath, the Cats seem to be in very good shape (from the outside at least!) but the back part of the exhaust seems to be a little rusty. I'm a lot more suspicious about the heat shield at the moment than anything else.
Will let you guys know how it goes
