I think I would go for one from the Beta Greenline range.
I assume Delta refers to Lister and as they get older they can suffer
starting problems from low cranking oil pressure.
I think Vetus products tend to be expenssive
It depends upon which Isuzu yoiu are talking about. Lots of hire fleets
fit them and they appera robust, but I hear their fule racks can stick
if one injector pump moves out of line.
Visit the local agents and ask for a range of spares. Get teh enbgine
that has the most knowledgable agent who carries a good mrange of
spares.
