Absolutely
it will be spot on
it's approved to vw 505.01 which is the fixed interval/arduous use pump dusse engine oil so it will have a lot of ep additives in the oil to protect the pump and the camshaft in these engines
will be more than good enough

i use halfrads semi doozle oil i know the purist say fully snth . . . .but it int done no harm to my 2002 auto
Semi synthetic 5w-30 is the land rover recommendation which is absolutely fine as they are not on longlife servicing like the bmw's
just get the halfords ford spec 5w-30 semi

All the above are suitable! (read my previous comment from RAVE) you could always call your local dealer and ask him if you want another opinion, i use 10w/40 as its the middle ground and i have done 136K in my freebie if you have have only done a low mileage then 5w/30 will be fine...
Hello This is my 1st post here so be gentle please! Where can I buy Dexos 2 at £12.50+vat per gallon?

Dexos 2 is the new oil spec from GM
you can get it from any vauxhall dealer
not sure about the 12.50 per gallon bit though you'll have to shop around
