Hey guys just bought an 03/disco and I've read in the past about changing out the thermostat for a motorad 180. Can anyone tell me which one to get exactly?

Prevailing wisdom is to get the OEM 180 degree thermostat. i think.

No longer applicable, as I no longer have the bypass system. A malfunctioning genuine 180 was the final straw. I put the motorad back in until my inline arrived.

I am a true believer in the inline mod. It's quite possibly in my opinion the cheapest/easiest way to attempt to bombproof the 4.6.
