You need to explain to your dad that a 1.9 diesel only put out 89 HP where as a 1.6 petrol puts out about the same. The diesel will still be cheaper on the insurance and it'll be much more efficient and last longer. My 1.4 was scrapped at 84k as the engine was knackered. A dturbo will go way beyond 200k if you look after it!
