i need to order some parts from gsf and i may as well get some filters at the same time, my car is a xantia td and the only oil filter i can see is for a hdi, is this the same filter or will it fit?

The one you need is N12045, it fits all Xantias except the V6 and the HDi.

A piece of (probably) useless information - according to Practical Classics Parts Interchangeability Guide this month, the oil filter for a PSA XUD engine will also fit a 1970 Mazda 1000.
Not a lot of people know that.....
More useful perhaps is that the oil filter fitted to early BX 14s, (and Visas and LNAs with the same type 1.1/1.4 engine), is apparently the same size as that on the mk3 & 4 Escort, Orion, various Fiestas, some Sierras, Maestro/Montego 1.6, Rover 216 and numerous Fiats - I wish I'd known that when I had an old BX 14!

I've got the HDi filter on my 1.9TD Xantia engine. Im told that the V6 one is a higher capacity filter, allowing more fluids through but more importantly because it has a higher internal filter area it doesnt clog as fast, keeping everything just a little bit fresher!
So i'll be putting the V6 one on next!
