Corgigrouch, you may have a V.Good point. The system is pretty old and when the heating comes on you can hear the water trying to get through some of the radiators - groans, small clunks etc. It maybe that the pressure is quite high due to an gunk in the system, thus forcing out some onto hot pipes and making the pong.

Well I have always thought that the air coming out of radiators when bleeding can be a bit whiffy..a bit like rotten eggs, so it could just be worth checking.
Have you check the header tank, on the off chance the smell maybe coming from there.
If the smell has gone I would still suspect something other than the heating.
Burning a pan handle for example, I think you need to go back over events that led up to the smell the first time

Yep, checked the header tank.
It is definitely coming from the heating system as it only smells when the heating/hot water is on. If left off there is no smell.
