What's the best way to level new/low level Void mech? Play on normal or are there some very easy missions that give a lot of exp on higher difficulties that you can beat with no parts.

You level mech at workshops, so if you have money you don't really need to replay old missions, just level your new mech up and buy placeholder parts.
Survival missions are pretty good for getting parts and extra scrap.

Void mechs work differently - they gain levels from the XP you are awarded from playing. They also lose levels if they are destroyed in a mission, I believe its 1 level lost for a level 1 - 30 mech, and 2 levels lost for higher level mechs.

I would probably play on normal until it reaches level 20 - if you don't have low level parts left over from your other mechs you will have looted some more by then, or just buy the common parts from the stores, I always found them fine for the normal missions. At level 20 you should be fine grinding Death March on Warzone for parts and XP, jump to Doomsday when your mech reaches level 35-40, then up to Apocalypse when you are ready. You could go for the higher difficulties earlier if you want, but it can be easy to lose a level here and there when you forget you using a Void mech and push your luck like you would with a regular mech.

Hope this helps.

Is Death March the best map? I'll try it thanks, i don't remember it being much better then others.

Death March has the advantage of unlimited waves of enemies, as long as you don't try to capture any of the 6 outposts from the objective list, so is considered one of the best maps for just grinding XP / parts (just don't forget to get your Void mech out of the way of the Wave Cannon path at the prompt before it fires - that's a quick way to lose levels, believe me ).
