Overheating!!!

Overheating!!!
Alright, here goes. I have a 2001 Disco II. It has 90k miles on it. I have been having problems with it running hot while i am driving. I read a few of the other posts on here and seen that there are other people that had bad thermostats. So i ordered on online and replaced it today. It wasnt to had. The hoses are good, no cracks or anything. I had a leak before on the top of the thermostat for the hose going to the water pump. After replacing the thermostat i let the Rover run for awhile to check if there were any leaks and there is not. The old thermostat i could see the plastic is coming apart. it is brittle on the ends where the hoses connect and inside. i stuck a screw driver in it and the whole inside piece of plastic broke off. Anyway, I drove the rover today about 20 miles and it started overheating again. UGH!!!! i dont know what else to do. I checked again and there are still no leaks. I also refilled the fluid after i got everything back together. Anyone have any advice on what i should check next??

antifreeze
does the type of antifreeze i put into the disco matter? i have a 2001 disco II, i read online that i should be using anti freeze with the Dex-Cool?? my disco has been overheating, i replaced the Thermostat, the i have bleed the coolant system, i replaced a broken return line from the radiator to the overflow tank, and each time it i do something the Discovery overheats faster than it did before i did anything. i think there is mostly water in my system right now, tomorrow i am going to drain it and refill it with antifreeze but i just want to make sure i get the right stuff.
