Here we go again - This question has been asked here dozens of times ----
The oil filter on the 1.4tdci is mounted on the right-hand side of the engine block (as you look in under the bonnet) and is in a black plastic housing which unscrews to expose a replaceable paper element filter. The filter housing points upwards at a slight angle, and looks like a fat black bottle with a hexagonal cap.
To get at it, first remove the front section of the air pipe which passes over it. This section of pipe can be taken out by removing the single screw and flexing the end of it out of the bracket above the radiator, then twisting and pulling it out of the connecting collar next to the air-filter.
Stuff some rag or kitchen roll around the base of the filter housing.
I find a 11/16" socket fits the hexagon, so a 27mm socket should fit. I read that this diesel engine is actually a Peugeot design, and Peugeot, being cleverer than Ford, seem to use those sizes where Metric or Imperial will both fit - for instance, the sump plug can be removed with a spark-plug socket, which can be a new 21mm or old 7/16" Whitworth.
Use a socket and extension and unscrew the complete housing. It'll take bit of gentle force to get it moving, and because it's plastic, it tends to flex. The housing may come off complete with the paper filter plugged into it.
The new filter will come with a new rubber-band seal which fits into a groove above the screw-thread. Push the new filter into the housing, offer it up to the engine and rote it until the plastic lug drops into its socket. Then screw the housing in by hand for a few turns to ensure it isn't cross-threaded, then tighten it with the socket spanner. Replace the air hose. Then use that kitchen roll to wipe that black oil off your hands!
Start the engine and ensure that the housing isn't leaking. (It won't be).
Go for a cup of tea.

Should oil be clean after a service on a Ford Fiesta TDCI?
No! You'll never get the black out of a diesel engine! I've flushed my 2006 Fiesta 1.4Tdci three times with cheap oil (six quid for five litres from Morrisons petrol stations), and each time it comes out black! But change the filter yourself, or at least check it after a service. When mine came out of warranty, I did an oil and filter change, and from the condition of the filter, I don't believe it had ever been changed by the dealer! Perhaps they'd never changed the oil neither, but you just can't tell - it will always be black. That's a diesel for you.
