I made these helper clamps from hardwood and 1/4"x 2" carriage bolts + washers, wing nuts, clamped the coolant lines, opened the hose clamps, replaced the thermostat, installed and tightened new worm clamps, removed helper clamps. There is a small coolant loss, but no mess. Top up coolant and bleed. That's it.

That is smart @Discorama !
Usually the thermostats are stamped with opening temperature labeled in Celsius. Here is the V8 thermostat breakdown:
- Cream is 190F/88C° with Hard Spring (Designed for TD5 and V8 applications) PEM100990B / PEM101020
- Black or Cream is 180F/82C° with Hard Spring (Designed for a V8 and used as a stopgap with Freelander K4 engines) PEL500110
- Grey is 180F/82C° with Light/Soft Spring (Freelander K4 engines)
Also there is a metal thermostat housing #AJ813558 for a Jaguar 3.0L V6 that you can add your own thermostat.

I am honestly getting tired of the false so called britpart thermostats sold by a certain LR vendor. Plain & simple if it’s stamped 78C that thermostat is AWESOME and Britpart sells it. However plenty of fake 180F’s are out there.
I do not spread fake data or info, the true britpart 180F’s stamped as 78C are just as good as the grey LR OEM 180F unit at half the price.
