Default focus ghia petrol or diesel?

Hi all,
looking at the above but dont know which engine to go for.
Should add that its the petrol 115 bhp, or derv 110 that Im interested in.
How unreliable are the derv engines really? is the fuel savings going to be eat up by big bills for DMF, fuel pump , injectors etc.
Im budgeting upto 5k for either motor.

I'd go diesel for your budget/year you're looking at, just buy a decent extended warranty.
Remember the LAW gives you six months warranty regardless of what the dealer says, so don't buy any for 6 months!!
