there are problems with people not being able to time them up correctly with the vct, which leads to bent valves

Default Puma Rear Wheel Arches

In trying to get my Ford Puma repaired nobody seems to be able to supply a rear wheel arch replacement. All that is on offer is a rear quarter panel and to make a proper job this could cost £1000 per side. Now considering that all Pumas suffer from the same fault ( well done Ford!!!) then there must be a premium market for wheel arch replacements. Can you help or point me in the direction of the panel makers so that I can try to resolve this and help other Puma owners to keep their cars in good condition. This is the only fault that occurs on what is a great car

apparently they use peugeot 206 front wheel arches, as they fit the opposite side for the intended use, quite interesting
