Coolant temperature

Update:
Borrowed a thermal camera
Ran the truck up to ~210 F
Top of thermostat ~160 F
Bottom of Thermostat and radiator cold.
Spoke with Lucky8
They gave me credit for the bad T-stat and shipped me a Genuine 180F today.
I had already ordered a $60 E-bay radiator.
I'll install it when the weather gets a little warmer and change to green AF at the same time.
Also purchased a $12 IR Temp gun-good tip, thanks.

my 2001 disco 2 most likely needs HG replaced, i have made an appointment with BIGGS, WA but that is in 10 days from now. I had already bought a Low Temp T( i think, it is the black version) from Lucky8 so i installed it today ----- i am getting good at bleeding the circuit LOL
Temp now has gone down
from 210 running to 187-189 and idling from 226 to 202
i don't know what else to say ... the old T had 4 holes just as the new one. i did see something that looks like a very small piece of cotton cloth or so in the old thermostat
if anyone else is saying to me that their coolant temp is too high on their Disco then i say buy the low temp T not too expensive and on mine it was miraculous
