If I were you though buddy I'd get it checked out at a garage. Don't worry about taking it to Renault. A simple emissions test (as done during an MOT) should be able to tell you if it's your CAT that has gone

Does it sound like the zorst is blowing? It could be a hole near the cat and the smell coming in to the car. More noticable when you boot it because it is working harder.
