Wiper blades are like $60 or so, and replacement takes 14 seconds.

Fuel filter is about $50 i believe, and should take about an hour

Plugs are like $80-120 and about 2.5-3 hours if you know what your doing.'

Not sure if that can be repaired. buy arnott remans for $400 and install takes about 45 min to 1 hour.

Outer tierod is about $120, inner is about 70. Outer is a piece of cake, inner, not sure about. You will need an alignment.

I seem to recall the headlight washers being about $75 for the unit. shouldn't take too long to replace.

all prices and times are estimates based on a good working knowledge of the 220.
