    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.

    Last time I checked, which was around a few months ago, here are prices of front wheel drive diesels in banawe QC:

    Toyota - 2CT - P40K
    Mitsubishi - 4D68T - P35K
    Nissan - CD20T - P35k

    All are turbo. All are from passenger cars. Most come in A/T but cant remember if the prices i quoted include the A/T.

    Toyota and mitsubishi have timing belts i believe. Nissan must have a timing gear like their other diesels - not sure but check. The Nissan TD27 has a steel cylinder head for durability - am not sure if CD20T is also steel.

    Timing belt, also.

    All imports. You'll be reliant on the Banawe importers for spares... or will have to import them yourself. The CD20T will have some similarity with the AD Max engine, which should mean spares should be available, but I don't know what differences (besides the turbo) there are with the engines... most likely the compression is a bit different, but that's not a big problem unless you need a rebuild.
