what cheapish oil would the panel recommend

you want the 5W/50 Ford spec oil. Halfords sell it in a Blue bottle
with 'Ford' written on it. I normally get the morris equiv. locally
which is a bit cheaper. I get my filters from the Ford dealer since
it's the same price as Hal-frauds, unlike the Oil.

You're correct in everything except the grade, it's a 5W/30 and Halfords
normally sell if for £24.99 per 5L, but they have had 25% off recently on
it.
Therefore, I paid £18.74 for 5L on 14/1/10 which is now safely contained
within the sump of my wife's Fusion TDCi. You may want to see if the offer
remains valid.

Hendy Ford in Winchester wanted about £29+VAT, the Fusion filter was
£11.60+VAT from them.
