got no idea how old you are or how many NCB you got.
if you can only afford to insure the 1.9D i would guess you can't afford to declare any mod.
even your nimrod in your sig. you should have delcare it as no 1.9D will come with nimrod as standard.
save up money for servicing and mot etc.
until you can get something nicer.
the truth is 1.9D is the worse engine in 206 series, the worse mpg among the diesel engine and the slowest car as well.
there is nothing you can do with the engine. if you want the improve the handling you better save up some money for a new axle. being a 12 year old puggy i doubt the axle is in good shape.
unless you sure the car is in top conditions, otherwise it is pointless to put money into mod.
cambelt done? is all suspension component in good shape, without any play? got any brake pad/ brake shoe left? is the clutch got any life left?

Only thing to do is treat it like tuning a N/A petrol engine. You don't have the option of increasing revs to create more power though.

Can always get the cam reground to give some higher lift. Head flow could be improved.
ITB's only needed with long duration cams which would be a waste of time on a diesel.
