- I have had 2 Aerostars and have done most all of my own basic type work.
- The plugs are not the easiest thing to change. I would recomment getting
- a book such as Haynes or Clymers on the Aerostar. Brakes, oil changes, air
- filter, shocks, are not difficult at all. I think replacing the headlight
- is one of the more pain in the butt type things there is. We haven't had
- a major problem with our van so far. I would get the power door locks
- as an option. It saves getting out and checking all the doors to see
- if they are locked.
