The vast majority are 1.8 and 1.8 turbo diesel. I had a non-turbo one, excellent workhorse and surprisingly comfortable (if rather noisy). Very economical though. The only problem I ever had with mine was with the back brakes sticking when it had been stood.

Aye there is 1.4 cvh engines, seen ex police dog vans in petrol version

And yes you can get them in a mrk6 shape

1.8d and 1.8TD

Ive had 4 Escort vans, TD is ok for what they are and you deffo feel the advantage on steep hills where mine kept its speed up no problem unlike the normal 1.8d But theres one thing with them it doesnt matter if its empty or full to the roof with shite they do the same speed lol

Tough wagon as long as the cambelts changed on a regular basis
