4.6L Operating Temperature
I wanted to know what is the factory spec of the Bosch 4.6 engine operating temperature?
I recently installed a Motorad 439-180 thermostat and currently reading in 35° to 60° weather in Las Vegas:
Driving:195° to 198°
City idle: 200° to 202°
Off Road: 200° to 206°
Pre-thermostat change, I was average about 210° to 220°.

Those were about the temps I would get with the motorad in 60+ weather with a D2 4.6.
Switched to the OEM 180 at the end of fall. Am getting 183-195 since, but that is all in north winter weather.

I have the the Land Rover TD5 T-Stat and my ambient temps are about 70 to 80 degrees at any given moment and I get about 186.8 to 190.4 on the highway and 194 to 201.2 in traffic, and maybe 203 if its extra bad.
The genuine Land Rover version is gray: THERMOSTAT ASSY DII & FREELANDER 180 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, PEL500110, RNQ028 - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts
Only is the part number has a "G" suffix which denotes "genuine". Otherwise, it is probably the Motorad (white) version rather than the Land Rover (gray) version.
