Hello, I've just bought myself a 1996 1.8 escort van so thought I'd join here for tips and advice when I start doing small jobs on it to fix it up a little. First question I have though is what 'Mk' is my van? When I look on ebay to buy parts or a haynes manual mast say Mk5 or Mk6 etc... Any ideas which mine is?

Look forward to having a look around the forum,

Cheers.

Id imagine your van is a Mk5 iirc. The mk5's came into production in 1995 and ended in 2002.
