200tq fixed :)

Hey all..
    picked up the Q on tues. Repair total:
 
1 cv boot (right outer)  $30.30
1 oil line (from oil cooler to motor) $250.00
2.5hrs labor                          $100.00

Total:                                 $380.30
(plus tax of course. ugh)

Sound about right to you guys? I was pretty satisfied, except for the high cost
of the oil line. 

Question for the masses: Somebody, I think it was dr.BOB, mentioned that the
LCD/ Dash-puter jitters was an easy fix. I think the dealer tried once while
the car was under warantee, but since then it's still bad. It comes and goes,
but mostly it's gone.. just displaying a jumble of lines or shapes. When it's
clear.. everything, all the info it provides, is good. Loose wire maybe? If
anybody knows how to fix it, or any leads.. I'd appreciate the info. Thanks a
bunch! I'm returning the car to my father this weekend (sigh) and it would be a
nice present for him.

P.S. For those going to the second coming of One Lap to the glen, if you are
interested in some exceptional food and atmosphere.. try the Wildflower Cafe.
It's right on the main drag in town. Usual non-afiliation disclaimers apply.
Also.. I lived there for 18 years, so if anybody wants any general info.. 
let me know.
