Might be a cracked exhaust manifold. Look for a puff of smoke in the manifold area when starting as this is a sign
HID Xenons, White Angel Eyes, LED No Plate Lamps, LED Puddle Lamps. Oh and remap soon >:D

Also check the boot lid & door seals are all intact and the doors are closing properly. It could also be a small fuel leak under the bonnet being picked up by the a/c, or a missing grommet seal through the front bulkhead.
