I've changed my air filter.
Picks up a bit quicker. No real major gains though.
A remap might be the option your looking for.

oh and im looking at a leon at the mo for 2.5k but has done 110k miles....should i go for it or not? the miles shouldnt matter too much on a diesel?

Mines just kit 106k and runs sweet as a nut. These engines are bomb proof if well maintained.
Filter and map should see 145 bhp, which should give you a very noticeable difference.
Maybe get a new engine mount and TIP (if you can find one)

Remap - Serial port software tuning. Changes your fuel mapping to unleash power by removing flat spots.
Filter - Air filter, can be a new panel or an open cone filter.
TIP - Turbo intake pipe, goes between the air box/MAF and the turbo. Can collapse when car gets remapped, so a reinforced silicone one is a good idea.
Engine mount - Stiffens up the mounts of the engine, allowing it less give on take off, improving traction.
I hope this helps...

You dont have to worry about changing the TIP on a tdi as it comes with a plastic one, some come with metal, or you can upgrade to metal, soon i weill be getting a full TIP in blue from SFS 
You only have to worry about a collapsing TIP on a 1.8t petrol
