MK4 ah you must mean MK6!!

[transitgeoff]

Sorry but in my book Tranies 2000 on are definitely MK6.

[FredTransit]

How do you work that out?

If you go on body shapes alone, there have been only 4.

If you count the 'facelifts' of the first two, that would make 4, then the Mk3, up to 5 now, then the New Gen, that's 6, then the current (that have probably had new bits of trim, headlights or whatever to give you a whole range of further 'Mks', not that I have been paying attention.) That's at least 7.

So which is right? Somebody ask Fords and settle this before I loose the will to live!!

I'd agree with you Geoff!!, we cant go upsetting these women!!!:lol:

[FredTransit]

No come on, how DO you arrive at Mk6? I listed what I think, but there doesn't seen to be any reason to get up to Mk6, more like past Mk6 if anything, or stick strictly to body shapes and you get 4!

well look at it this way, forget restyled indicators and bumpers and soforth, how about wing styles or wing changes, i know of 6 different wings and i sell them!! mk1 all one wing, mk2 all one wing, mk3 1986-1991 all one wing, 1992-1994 all one wing,1995-2000 all one wing 2000 onward all one wing other than some trucks have a hole for a wing repeator, i rest my case mk1 to mk6!!!

Nah! What I said is the basic BODY shapes. The wings are basically the same shape, despite having different shaped holes in them. If you stand back and look at the van's profile, not much changed. E.G. ALL Mk1s were the same shape, though had some slight changes in 71 to the indicators and grill. The Mk2 again was basically the same shape, though had a facelift in 84. Even the Mk3 didn't change it's basic shape, even though Ford called it the New Generation somewhere in the mid 90s. Otherwise, when I go to get one of the wings you sell, if I asked for a Mk2, I would get a wing for a van registered between 1971 and 1978, something a completely different shape.

Lets awaken the dead here on this topic, so what model is my tranny, what I do know according to the DVLA documents is its a 2,4 90ps I beleive and its a rear wheeel drive on a X reg plate with a leaking fuel injector pump at the moment, though I must stress that I am not using the tranny until the pump is fitted here's the link http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/452276/ and yes I know its not a tranny but here's my bike http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/437140/

Mk6 in most peoples book!

[FredTransit]

Mk4

[MrMPuk]

You had to do it didn't you Chris!

[FredTransit]

If it was that important to me (and believe me, it isn't, though it might one day be to some if any of the chip-riddled transits of today make it to 20), I would put a link to my original thread where somebody reproduced a piece from a Ford in house mag that said there were only FOUR transits to date.

[MrMPuk]

That was trannytech and any ways when Ford talk about the vans they use the V number!

[FredTransit]

So that would make the current one a V4!!!

[MrMPuk]

Mk3 = VE6
Mk4 = VE64
Mk5 = VE83
Mk6 = V184\V185
