how hard(and/or expensive) is it to replace all the hydraulic lines for the convertible top?I might be ok doing it myself, but if not, who should I bring it to?

Whoo boy, this seems like one of those ‘if you have to ask, it might be too tough’ kind of things. But if it’s your play car, and you (and the family) can live with it in the garage for several months, and you have a good selection of tools, and you have good contacts with the Jaguar community, and you have a good source for parts, then maybe it’s worth a shot.
