Welcome to the forum Dai. At the top right of the screen is a search box - if you tap in "TD4 service items" it throws up lots of threads where this question has been asked previously.

the oil breather to the back of the engine will need doing too and change the turbo breather as well thats at the back you can get to it via the front wheel arch

Use code SALE50 once in the basket you will need 6.1ltrs so maybe purchase two for topping up or the next service

I would use fully synth in an older car as it will help your engine last longer

The M47R only needs full synthetic oil if 5w30 is used. A modern 10w40 semi-synthetic massively exceeds the original engine oil spec and being a heavier oil, protects worn bearings better then a 5w30 full synthetic will.
