    So tempting to ignore the odd leak and bit of seepage on an old car, but yours wants for nothing. Great work!

    An alternative would be stainless steel braided with AN fasteners spendy, but you should be fine with Introcar replacements. Keep up the fine work there maestro!! Yeah ya gotta keep up the maintenance on these cars.

    Excellent work, Paul. Every job you perform in this series future-proofs the car for safe reliable use for years to come. One observation: the first hose you replaced in this video is fed through an open square-shaped metal bracket at the top. Be careful the hose does not chafe on the edges of that bracket - it looks awfully close from the camera angle. Well done, my friend.

    I hope those engineers and assembly designers could see your repair process.
    Did they see in their minds what repairs might be like?
    The engineers...engineered. At assembly, the whole engine and transmission unit was out in the open, all the parts were easy to get to and put together. Then...they mated the unit into the monocoque. Simple...for them.
    I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a full hydraulic service job like this at Rolls-Royce or, say, Tyrell's Classic Workshop (I enjoy that channel...) requires dumping out the subframe/engine cradle/whatever to make it "easy" to see and work on everything. Hence...the labour charges.
    As you've clearly demonstrated, I'd say you're the owner this car should've had in the first place.
    Twenty-eight pounds per hour of labour back in the day? Ah...the good old days' prices seemed so inexpensive.🤣 Surely it's at least ten times that now...
    Mahalo for another...thought-provoking video. Aloha.
