Hi Andrew,

   Sorry, its a shop thing for sure. A CO machine is a fairly high dollar
unit. Also they don't like being banged around, so renting one and moving it
about would not be to good for it. I guess that's one reason why I've never
seen one at a rental place.
    On the other hand, setting the CO is usually a quick job. It shouldn't
take over a 1/2 to 1 hour. So, at a shops hourly rate, it isn't that
expensive. Depending on the shops rate maybe $50.00 or less.
    Be sure and call shops familiar with foreign cars, most domestic cars
shops don't do much in the way of CO settings.
    Now I know you don't want to buy one for a single
job.................BUT. I have one for sale its listed on Samba at:

    Man what a totally shameless plug!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Howard
