Thanks Guys

I can't help you with most of the things but it is best to use OEM filters and Castrol Magnatec oil of the correct grade because they make the oil for Ford, although a lot of people use a low ash grade of oil instead and swear that it is better. They may be correct, I don't know.

Welcome to the forum. 

1. Depends on your budget otherwise there is plenty aftermarket parts that are just as good. 

2. Pretty much what you quoted. Check etis for service intervals https://www.etis.ford.com/

Check brakes/fluid and coolant levels. 

3. 5W 30 fully synthetic put your reg into opie oils https://www.opieoils.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAjKqABhDLARIsABbJrGkvyPATqjeESIGLEPDfNxYInCc7Nv6Z_uSxnSWY3_We6M4kPwvIcdAaArB9EALw_wcB or eurocarparts 

4. It is double din don't you mean single? If so Halfords sell a conversion to single din that just clips in. 

5. Fitment for alloys is 5x 108 PCD I would say yes looks better with alloys max 17 though or speedo will start go out of sync. 

6. Here is a guide 

7. Plenty have done remaps to these engine reliably. 

 

Thank you so much both, I can see the ford community very warm and welcoming thank you!..
