I'm not sure I agree with that. I have a britpart front prop on mine and the UJ's were terrible and lasted about 10k, but swap them out for some proper ones and the prop has been fine for the last 150k since, couple of sets of ujs, but the slider and yokes are still good.
I had a new Britpart prop fail because of a UJ within a couple of thousand miles - the end of the UJ bearing actually shot off down the road!. It's been fine since fitting decent UJs.
Mine might have been less, all i remember is it was far less time than I would have liked, But they were also the sealed for life uj's rather than greasable ones, which I also do not like
Isn't that what I said?
Only partly, the prop itself and the slider are good on the cheap ones from my experience. The UJ's are terrible, but are also cheap and easy to replace. A pair of good UJ's and a cheap prop still works out significantly cheaper than an OEM prop and IMO would be of equal quality. (or certainly not of a large enough quality increase to justify the increase in price.)
Yes, that is true but if the OP was intending to buy a new prop and replace the UJ's he may as well keep his existing prop and replace the UJs on that. I tried to replace the UJs on mine and found it quite difficult and in need of quite a bit of precision.

I think britpart do some OEM props as well... Marked 'G' I think. The genuine LR ones are quite expensive
The one I linked is an OEM made by GKN, not a genuine land rover one, they are very expensive!
