I have searched the web and owners manual and cannot find info on where the oil filter is located or the type.
I like to change the oil and filter every 3000 on my vehicles
Can any one please advise and ease of access would help.
My local garage Winchester area have quoted £180 plus extra for flush, apparently 7 litres of oil.

Lower front of block, just above the sump towards the offside. Easily visible and accessible if you look under the front bumper unless you have an undertray. 5.4 litres is about right for an oil and filter change on a 2.3 multijet; the book says 5.8 litres but they seem to end up overfilled at that quantity.

Why an engine flush, especially if you're changing the filter every 3K!!!
