Thick end of a fiver (or a bit more) I think. Andyspares/gsf do them cheaper:
N12045 OIL FILTER ZX ALL 2.50
I think it is this part, so I may by them in advance from now on.

Exact same one £2.50 from GSF [:D]

Well done GSF - I usually buy my oil and filters in France where they have been much cheaper. Last Purflux filter I bought there was £5 though! And I don't think the Total oil is any cheaper than Jon's price quoted above.

I had been using Cooper filters on my Xantia, until Andrew Page switched to Mann & Hummel, and now I use them.
As for oil, Comma Eurodiesel does me (Under £10 for 5 litres) or Comma Diesel 15w40. It all comes out black after 5k miles, but still feels oily.
I did try some Tesco diesel engine oil, but when it came out it was very thin...
