where can you get a 2007 Lincoln Navigator SUV serviced/repaired in Taipei?
(some place that has the diagnostic tool to read error codes)
Thanks! 
Any major Ford dealership might be a good place to start! If anyone can service Lincolns it would have to be them, right?
I’ve only seen a few Town Cars around Taipei - never a Navigator. Did you import it yourself?
wow you must have the only navigator on the island?? And how much is gas over there??
at least you can use regular now on the 07.
regular gas is bout 3.60/gallon here today in calif
I believe you can find recycling centers dotted around most of Taipei county.

thanks! that’s what I was thinking… a Ford dealer can probably do it…
but I just wondering if there’s somebody who specializes in Lincoln vehicles
(or have actually worked on one) in Taipei…
I should think that Lincoln is a rare bird in Taiwan. But really its just a Ford. So Ford in Taiwan should be able to sort you out (the suv I mean).
From checking around online it seems that common faults aren’t limited to, but often mention ignition problems attaining to the plug leads, connections and ignition coils. There are a number of recalls on certain models and one recall in particular refers to the fuel rail in the engine bay which can leak and cause excessive fuel consumption. (I thought it already used excessive fuel, but apparently it can get even worse that the normal 11.3 miles per gallon around town!)
ownersite.com/RecallMain.cfm … =NAVIGATOR
That link has some details on recalls.
It seems the list of problems reported on that car by consumers is virtually endless although brand new off the shop floor cars are not immediately effected most of the time. Other common problems that are frequently mentioned are the front brake rotors and brake assembly, suspension problems regarding the hydraulics and controllers, electrical faults on engine and interior switches, seat heaters failing, windows leaking and more.
My advice before reading into this car would have been to exchange for a more reliable, more practical car, but after reading is now get rid of it as fast as you can. That thing is a scary thing to run in this part of the world and is no doubt going to cause some headaches. I can only imagine there was some driving force to want to bring it here, so someone feels very attached to it. Don’t let me spoil your party, but don’t say you haven’t been cautioned.
You got a Navigator in Taiwan ? how do you park that thing ?

I mean if there is …would you trust them ?
your multi-million dollar (NTD) suv.
for diagnostic tool i would suggest go to your nearest Auto parts store (Autobac in Neihu) and get a OBDII code reader. The tool is in english and very easy to use, just plug into your cars ECM hub, located lower left of steering wheel. The tool can read all engine light and warning light codes.
As for maintanence just DIY. good old way.
but if anything break on it. i think you might have to source your parts from US.

Thanks! I guess that’s the safe way to go… Not sure how much the Navigator
would have cost in Taiwan… since I didn’t have to pay taxes to import it, because
of the short term use in Taiwan.
I don’t think I’ll be taking it to a Ford authorized dealer in Taiwan. What if they somehow
share vehicle data with Ford headquarters in the US? The Navigator still has 3 years of
factory warranty left, plus a few additional years of Ford’s own extended warranty…
I’m sure they will not honor it once they discover that they vehicle has been exported
to another country. Since I will be shipping the Navigator back to the US in about 15
months, I’ll keep it away from Taiwanese Ford dealerships for now…
