I can't address the car but I can the cancer. My wife has had cancer twice and beat it both times. First time she was in her late 20's and then again around early 50's, she'll be 80 in four more days. I would think they have even better treatments today over what was available back then. Good...

I can't help you with the shifting issues as I drive an automatic. But wanted to welcome another cousin from across the pond and let you know; you've come to a great site for help. Lots of knowledgeable helpful people on here. Good luck!

April 17th was the anniversary of the Mustang by Ford. Our car club, Inland Empire Mustang Club travelled to City Beach in Sandpoint, ID for a picnic together. Don't know the overall count of our club, at least several hundred I would guess. But 17 mustangs made the run to City Beach from...

This turned out to be a simple fix. Either a previous owner, tire shop, or mechanic had failed to put the black plastic piece on the bolt. I Took it to town yesterday, towels and rags only, at that time. Not a peep out of the trunk. Mustangs that have the tire set up my 2012 has must be sure...

Culprit found. Problem was solved yesterday at the tire shop. I knew the spare was tight but took the car to the shop to have them take the spare out and see if the jack was loose. As they were doing that the manager said I think it's that triangle piece that holds the jack handle and funnel...

My 2012 has the Mustang emblem, not what you're showing. Don't know if you could order either as an option. This emblem is even on the trunk mat.

Welcome, great site for exchange of ideas, getting help from some very knowledgeable Mustang owners.

Welcome to the site. Great place to come to share information, get help, etc. Lots of knowledgeable people on here.

Mother nature not working with me on finding the issue. I wanted to take the car for a drive with the top down and see if I heard the noise. Also, will try taking the tire and jack out and see if I still here the noise. But we just entered a 7-10 days of rain so I'm on hold.

Thanks guys. Rocknrod thanks for the drawing. When I hear the noise, I can just visualize that the jack is bouncing around between the flooring and the tire.

OK, I've checked in the convertible boot, nothing obvious there as to the banging sound. You guys that work on Mustangs; is it possible for the jack to come loose under the spare tire. The sound seems to come from the trunk, but the spare is rock solid. I tried to find a schematic drawing on...

One person on another site ask, are you sure the sound isn't coming from the interior? This is a convertible. Top works fine but raises the question could there be something in raising equipment coming loose. Actually, this is a really good question. Since it is a convertible, could something...

I also had good luck with a locksmith shop. They hooked a computer to my car, used the key I had and then inserted the two new keys into the ignition. That programmed the new keys to the car. Good luck

Thanks, Both sound like a good starting point.
