Occasional smell of ammonia?

Every now and again after I've driven my Jazz into the garage I notice a smell of ammonia. I called the dealer and the service centre said they'd no idea why and it probably didn't matter. I get it after driving home from work which is a 12mile journey so the car should be well warmed up. Any ideas?

The Jazz is about 4 months old and 4k miles on the clock.

it's gotta do with your exhaust. Something about teh cat. I can't remember exactly what it was but the 2000 Toyota 4RUnners had the same problem. nothing serious. (just dont run the car with the garage door closed!!)
