Generator update

After a whole lot of work on Ben's part stripping the geni and finding that there are just too many problems for me to sort out in the backyard. So Ben has got the whole lot back together again and now I am going to have to find someone in SA to fix "old faithful" So at the same time I was wondering if it would not be a good time to look at getting a bigger generator unit which will be able to support all 3 houses when the other two are built. At the moment we have a 5 kva. run on a 10hp Lister diesel. Any comments?

What size would you be looking for? - bearing in mind that you should consider one that would not only supply what is coming in the very near future, but what could supply for expansion plans. What would the specs be?
