Just look for a suitable isuzu engine with similar mounts. At least its euro spec.
That one isn't compatible with the 99 Vectra, and no, we don't have that motor here. The closest you can get locally is the Isuzu Gemini engine, but that's ancient, and it won't mount up directly to the Vectra without extensive modification.

And it'll probably run like dirt.

If you want a front-wheel drive layout diesel, you'll have to import it, sadly. The only late model front-drive engine you can get here in diesel that's not CRDI (and you don't want those, they're expensive, and will be extremely difficult to swap without having some expertise) is the 2 liter diesel in the Nissan AD Max, circa 2000.
