dont do it those engines are a bloody nightmare (i work in the motor trade and we've had a lot of problems with them)
better off keeping the petrol the money you save in fuel would be wasted in repair bills
if you really must have a diesel id go for the 2.0hdi they seem to be pretty good in comparison to the 1.4/1.6 ones

If your trying to save money on fuel, why spend it on tuning?

I have a 2.0l HDi, and gotta say although by no means quick standard it's been faultless, and I average 50.4 miles to the gallon, and it does get thrown around on occasion so can't complain! all I wanted from a work horse
