I've always put Halfords semi-synth 10W40 in mine.

You might find the filters in Halfords if you can figure out what the Champion part code is (or if by some small chance it's in their book). Otherwise Wemoto.

Wemoto do pattern cush rubbers.

Chainlube...

Personally, I tend to grease mine. Pot of multipurpose grease from Halfords, spread it on with your fingers thick enough to keep the crud off. Clean it off with paraffin occasionally and reapply. Lasts a lot longer than spray lube if you're using the bike every day, and especially if it's wet.

If I'm travelling, I tend to just use engine oil, on the grounds that carrying a litre of engine oil is more useful than a can of spray lube.
