Hi all, I bought an older 110 a couple of years ago with 2.5n/a engine, and LT77 gearbox. The vehicle only has 80,000 kms on it and runs very well. Looks like the injector pump has been replaced. I replaced the timing belt recently. THe gearbox shifts well, not really bad noises or clunks (the odd one). I've ordered an oil thrower for the LT77, and have replaced all fluids in gearbox/xfer case.
There may not be a general answer to this (depends on usage type etc.), but I am wondering what is an average lifespan (before internal surgery is required) for the 2.5n/a and the LT77, so I can start planning for future repairs, or apply more preventative maintenance (adjustments, fluid changes, etc.). I read somewhere (LROI) that an LT77 will likely require overhaul at 80,000 miles.
Thanks.
