Assume you mean wood dye and oil? It dilutes the colour, though you can get it ready mixed with danish oil.
The advantage is that it makes getting an even coat very easy.

I thought you would have that sorted
I only need small lots so no worries about consistency,
What wood dye would you recommend If I were to mix my own

You can mix Liberon spirit dye with Danish Oil. You can probably mix oil based stain such as Blackfriars with DO, but I'd avoid water based. Don't put DO over oil based dye. The Colron DO colours are limited.
IMO hardwax oil is better. Fiddes hardwax oil comes in a range of shades and only needs 2 coats. You can buy 125ml and 250ml tins on eBay etc.

I got most of my money back. Unfortunately Trading Standards intervened after I sent a notice of intended legal action but before it started. They agreed I was owed money, but the cowboys smooth talked them and prevaricated for 6 months until TS agreed to a low offer. I refused several times and was offered a decent amount, which I took.
It would have been quicker without TS, I'd have gone to court and won. But going to court with an offer via TS on the table would have been difficult, courts take TS seriously. TS are understaffed, and not very tough. A silver tongued cowboy can smooth talk TS.
