Headlinings are easy to repair once out of the car. All u have to do is remove the material, clean the backboard and stick some new material on. Don’t try and bodge it in place as they always look shite and it never works
Thanks for your comment, yes getting the old headlining off the board, cleaning it and refitting it is probably the easier bit, getting it out of the car and refitting is the tricky bit. A job to go on the “Not so important list” at the moment though.👍
Aspect ratio? I’m not sure what to do with the headliner really, I’ll either pin it up or rip it down, the headliners aren’t available anymore according to Rimmers, it’s a fairly involved job replacing it, you got any suggestions mate?😁 Thanks for watching.👍
@@RickandHeather Ahh, I had to do a fair amount of editing and I had to stop/start because of issues with the phone mount, I also had to stitch parts together plus uploading issues and in the process I may have hit a certain setting and that’s why it turned out like that. It’s all done on my phone mate and I’m no “techie” so I’m figuring it as I go along.
My neighbour used to have the 1,4 Streetwise bloody rocket they are 0-60 in 9 seconds and 125mph top speed , only problem was head gasket why ? because Rover lol , I really wish Rover had taken care and consideration into their Engines as the cars were good cars the 25 45 and 75 had so much potential
Yes the K series is flawed in its cooling system BUT the basic idea is a good one which is a light powerful and revvy engine, if you buy a Rover or MG with the K series power plant knowing it’s flaws and assets you’ll know how best to look after it, it’s the same with that Wankel Rotary engine in the Mazda RX cars, get the knowledge and you can have a reliable enjoyable motor.
@@ggggggg570 Excellent! The K series is a powerful smooth revvy engine, just hope 131bhp won’t cook it. The Streetwise although people didn’t “get it” when it came out, it was one of cars that started the urban on roader trend that turned into the SUV’s we have today.
Knowledgeable, informed, insightful and personable video. I enjoyed it! Subscribed…😊
Thanks Mate, glad you enjoyed it.👍
Good review Will, looks a decent car 👍

Got a streetwise 2004 love it
They are good cars, very underrated.👍
How come the aspect ratio kept changing on the video? You definitely need to sort that headliner out other than that it’s pretty tidy!
Aspect ratio?

@@willswheels283 the picture was big then square… 16:9 then 4:3? I’m guessing the cloth is on a board? Can you maybe cover it in a thin carpet?

@@willswheels283 Yeah shame there has to be a compromise but it's worth it when they are working 👍
is this the 86hp version? or 103?
Well as it turned out it was fitted with the 84bhp throttle body but on the V5 it was supposed to be a 103bhp.
@@willswheels283 i’m probably gonna get one soon mapped at 131bhp and was originally 84, first car
