Sulphur smell from car on start up?

Hi All,

I'm getting a slight wiff of sulpur from the big D at the moment when i start up the engine... and sometimes whist going along? is this the regenative cycle? if so how long does it last?

It does smell a bit like an old catalytic convertor on a 1990's escort 16v ?
