When i suggested burned hazelnuts that's the smell i usually associate with coolant being burned by the engine and with the extra vapour you mentioned suggests a weepy head gasket. Have you checked the coolant level recently?

Watched Big Clive quite a lot.
I also thought of head gasket, only checked level of coolant through plastic master cylinder tank. Will look properly tomorrow, also will look at oil. Engine runs fine above tickover.
