Hello everyone, glad to be here. I'm new to Mustangs but I have always wanted one. I finally got my first one a few weeks ago, a 2001 GT convertible in silver. It has some nice 17" polished alluminum wheels that make it look great without overdoing it as well. I love it so far.
This is my second post though. My first has to do with the problems I'm now having with the convertible hydraulic system I'm not positive what to do but I'm guessing it needs both cylenders replaced. The drivers side is also leaking somewhere as when I pulled the seats out to observe the hydraulic system, under the seats were soaked. The amp (premium version) even had a plastic bag over it! So it seems this was a known problem to the previous owner. Hopefully I can simply change the cylinders and put new fluid in and be good to go without buying a new motor. And hopefully I can find some info on how to stop this leak as I don't want the water blowing the amp/speakers or making a musty smell that it's starting to do. The padding under the back seats were soaked and smelled bad so I took it out.
Here is the thread by the way - http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/849508-problems-convertible-hydraulics-pump.html#post8543326
Hopefully that get's dealt with quickly without having to take it to the Ford place (and under $500), and not having to replace the top as it is still nice and black with no tears, but I don't know why so much water is coming in. It must have been over a liter just from one rainstorm.
Glad to be here and very glad to have my first Mustang even though it's giving me a few hiccup's my first 2 weeks of having it
