I do not have a discovery, but the engine in mine is the same as yours, and will run anywhere between 185 to 210F.

Not knowing the overall condition of your coolant, t/stat and radiator can make a difference but your numbers are OK.

I took off the radiator to clean it and it looked ok , just flush it two weeks ago, fan blows pretty hard and I can listen to the electric fans come on when I turn the ac on.

Things should be normal then. It is not uncommon for an electrical short to cause the temp gauge to malfunction. Mine does this and it is extremely annoying.

In the summer my DII runs 92 C running (196 F) and 100 C (210 F) idling or going slow uphill. Mine ran hot like yours until I did a really thorough coolant flush (engine, radiator and heater).
