I reuse the copper washer once or twice, never ever had a drip.
As for the filter, i'd rather pay a few quid more for OEM quite frankly than some of the shite that's on the market, though this is speaking about my HDi in particular. Air filter is twenty something quid though, as is the fuel filter iirc. I get discount at Peugeot Peterborough though as i've been shopping there for a number of years, plus I used to get my Rover bits there too (was one dealer with 8 dealerships and all the parts were together) so all the guys on parts knew me, I get 20% off i think. You get what you pay for at the end of the day, i've done 170000 miles in my HDI, 50 of which on stage 1 and i've never had an engine related issue.
Peugeot prices are pretty reasonable generally tbh, unless you're trying to buy a caliper or something. I laugh at people who skimp on £2.50 for something on their car once a year but go and piss 50 quid up the wall on a night out each week.
