Sorry, I thought I could see a G at the start of the number top left.
I nearly returned mine when it turned up in a Britpart box after ordering an OEM part.
After checking the markings on the prop it was a GKN prop so fitted it.
Britpart do make/sell a very wide range of parts of variable quality.
I normally stick to Bearmach, much more consistent quality  D4 2016 Landmark, Waitomo Grey.
D3 2005 HSE, Bonatti Grey, now sold but still comes back for servicing.
Defender 2002 Td5 Commercial, had a hard life but slowly being restored.
I only work so I can afford to repair my Land Rovers!

Yes, took me about 1.5 - 2 hours.
You need torx sockets - from memory E10 and E12, but better check...
Pardon? IIRC there's a heat shield to remove and 12 bolts to remove and 12 to refit (I got new ones from AF, but the original ones would have been fine).
I would say 30 mins max, including getting tools out and putting them away.
A spare pair of axle stands to support the new prop helps.

I have the same prop on mine and it's been fine.
So is the Britpart one ok?

The problem with Britpart is they will supply several different quality parts at different prices.
I only used the ones where the Britpart part number begins with a G as these parts are all made by OEM manufacturers.
The rest of the Britpart range is a bit of a gamble.
As Mikey says the Bearmach parts are a safer bet. D4 2016 Landmark, Waitomo Grey.
D3 2005 HSE, Bonatti Grey, now sold but still comes back for servicing.
Defender 2002 Td5 Commercial, had a hard life but slowly being restored.

Could anyone inform me of what bolts I need to do the rear prop? I believe I need the following-
TYG500130- 4 needed
TYF500020- 3 needed
TYP500180- 6 needed
Is that all the bolts I need?
Thanks in advance,
Jamie

Advanced Favtors sells all the bolts and other parts needed. I believe there is also 10% off until tomorrow (ADVLRF is the code). They have the diagrams/quantities req'd on their website, from what I can see the part no's and details you have listed appear correct (but double check on the site!) I had my rear prop changed by Woody 32, seem to take him no longer than 45 mins - that was with a ramp though and his previous (extensive) experience of the job. 57 Defender 110 XS TDCi
55 Discovery 3 TDV6 ‘S’ Manual, re-homed in the West Country, lovingly maintained by Woody32
63 Discovery 4 SDV6 XS (Best of the bunch).
