Facts About this Unit

The 2007. . .
One of the best selling units from Honda, rivalled in Nigeria only by the Toyota RAV4
For 2007, Honda CR-V became one of the ten best selling vehicles of the year, outselling competitors like RAV4, Escape and Tahoe by tens of thousands


Fuel economy ratings from the EPA are 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) city, 26 mpg-US (9.0 L/100 km; 31 mpg-imp) highway. Consumer Reports rates fuel economy as 19 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 23 mpg-imp) city, 29 mpg-US (8.1 L/100 km; 35 mpg-imp) highway.

Honda is also offering an integrated Navigation option on the EX-L model. The navigation unit is made for Honda by Alpine and includes voice activated control, XM radio (in the USA and Canada), in dash CD player that can play MP3 and WMA media. It also has a six-disc CD changer in the center console and a PC Card (PCMCIA) slot in the Nav unit for flash memory MP3 or WMA files. A second CD player is behind the navigation screen, this CD player plays MP3/WMA cds. A rear backup camera is also included.[6]
An iPod adapter was to be an available option on US models, but is currently only available as an add-on accessory. All CR-V models still have the auxiliary audio input jack, which is either on the head unit itself (LX), on the central tray (EX), or inside the center console (all versions of the EX-L, with or without navigation).. . . . my own no get navigation oo shocked grin

Ok, So how did i find my latest recruit?

I didn't have loads of money to sign on the big time players; hence i went the Wenger way (Salvage auction)
"Abandoned" but raw talent. . .amongst a couple of others on a limited budget, it had to be a bargain deal.

I began the search. . First, it was a RAV4 and then CR-V and then Hyundai
But somehow, this one popped up. . . .we bidded and won!! grin shocked shocked shocked


We found her in this condition. . . shinning and immaculate though crashed.
No deployed airbags, not likely to have a frame damage, not much work to be done. . . Good deal by any standards
We bidded and won!!

See it for yourselves. . . judge and ask questions. We will answer.
But remember to follow us on the journey home and the eventual repairs. . . .now, that's how we do it here! cool cool

Ok, question time.

I am thinking of the best way to give the car the. Best look.
So cost not being so much of an issue here, which do you think is better and I need evidences

Normal painting or oven baked?

I am not asking because I don't know the difference, but I seem not to know whether there will be much of a difference
Inspired and others who have baked in Nigeria, your opinions are needed here!

What do you guys think?
What do I need to watch out for to get the best of this unit.

I am cost conscious but not as it compromises quality...........so over to you guys.

Thanks Fhemmy.
Here's an update.

We eventually assembled with other owners of the vehicles in the container we shared on saturday morning for off loading.

Was quite an exciting experience. This baby was d last to exit the container.

Closer Assessment showed a clearer picture of the situation of things. D battery was dead,no fuel in tank, exhaust silencer was severed of the manifold apparently as a result of the rear crash.

As was initially suspected, d front impact pushed the front accessories a little closer to the engine and bent so metal enforcement the front bumper reinforcement being one of them. D condenser and radiator was bent. Condense was still good but already disfigured despite being in front but the radiator can't even hold two satchets of water. The fans weren't working as suspected also hence everything about cooling is off. The car however was sound.

It then became a challenge to get the car to my location from Tincan first gate were I off loaded. I didn't want to tow the unit because of the cost(about 18k). So I first bought ten litres of fuel, hired a battery and then got the car running. Added water as much as the radiator can hold. But the engine was gonna heat up above normal. Also the power steering fluid was leaking so steering was stiff at a spot but freer in motion. My journey started. Lucky me, d traffic wasn't much so I kept motion, stopping at intervals to allow it cool.

But at some point it won't cool. The temperature gauge had gotten to the limit. D engine was as expected emitting smoke. So what I did was to stop throttling but allowing the gear to drive it. It was slow and steady but was enough to get me to my location (festac) without any damage.

We continue the next episode tomorrow.

Thanks for following us.
Pls forgive me for any typos or errors. I am doing this from my blackberry.
