I have this vehicle too (s-reg 1998 2.0 16V Zetec). The oil filter is v.hard to spot, it's in front of and facing the driver below the plastic section with the engine name on.
Haven't had chance to find the sump plug yet but presumably it's under a sump cover somewhere at the bottom of the engine.

I am really not trying to be nasty here but if yoiu can't find the sump plug for your car (or any car for that matter) I suggest that you take the car to someone to do the job for you before you cause damage to it.
