I have a spare Ford funnel....pm me your address and I'll pop in in the post. Obviously its no good to you right now, but just in case it happens again.
Thanks Tony but after having another look I have found the Ford funnel tucked away in the car!

Are you sure its not tucked away behind your tyre inflater ?
After a good look around the car I have found the Ford funnel so thanks for this. The plastic bottle and pen did work though so good to know if you are stuck.
