I'd get a fuelling check done first, if it's running slightly lean then tweaking the mix will sort this issue and the cold idle.
Don't know what ecu you have but hopefully it's adjustable cheaply.

I don't know your area well, but even a MOT garage can check the CO, but for safetys sake I'd get a full rolling road fuelling check done, can save a melted engine if mixture very out.
The nearest I can think of to you is TOTD, that I'd trust, torque of the devil, ask for chris.
