Has anyone ever changed the air filter on a Focus 1.6 TDCI?

I assume it's the oblong black box at the front right of the engine bay?

Halfords don't seem to stock a suitable filter (or at least their flip book in the store isle doesn't list one).

I'm interested to hear people's views on this. Thanks

On most cars there is a solid plastic "pipe" open at one end - Air intake...follow the pipe and should lead you to Air filter compartment.
Halfords - I have found it harder and harder to get parts for cars less than 5 years old here.
Hopefully situation will improve. Anyway for FORD I have found the dealer is often only 10 - 20% more, if at all. Make me laugh that there are cars in these flip books that My Dad scrapped when I was a child (Over 40 now)...must be popular with classic car enthusiasts.

Thanks for that, but I take it you don't own one of these?

I'm really looking for someone who's "been there before" and can pass on any tips.

A Haynes manual?

I have one of these cars. The air filter should be changed as part of a major service. If you're servicing it yourself then a Ford service dealer/Rapid Fit can supply you with the correct air filter which fits inside the black box that you have located.
