Motorad also makes a 180 t-stat but don't buy it buy the genuine grey one.

When the battery is disconnected or a code is cleared the cars computer has readiness monitors that have to reset. This normally takes 50 or so miles of around town and highway driving. I think there are 4 total. I recently sold a car and drive it for over 900 miles and was still not ready. I had the earlier version, so I ended up buying a generic OBD2 reader just so I could monitor the readiness monitors.
Sounds like you are headed in the right direction with the pump and thermostat.
Good luck

If you are serious about overhauling your cooling system:
1) water pump
2) genuine LR 180 t stat(grey one) buy from rovers north or bp Utah
3) new fan clutch
4) new radiator
5) new coolant overflow tank cap
Just did this overhaul on my dads. 204 was the highest temp while driving in the desert driving up a grade with outside temp of 114.
Normal temps at 185.

And can I get by with this ProLine: CAP COOLANT RESERVOIR RRP38A RANGE ROVER & DSCO II, PLD344, PCD000070 - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts
Or do I need to get the $30 one?

The cap controls the pressure of the cooling system - if the pressure is too high or too low it can lead to over heating and/or loss of coolant (both of which can ultimately lead to engine damage). They are cheap to replace and therefore there's no reason not to do it (keep the old one as a spare, just in case it's needed).

Story: When I first bought the D2 in 2003 there was a guy locally who polished his new(ish) D2 to death, wore through the paintwork and even polished everything under the hood even the the battery and terminals. One day he arrived at my door and said he couldn't start the truck. I had a look for him withAVO meter in hand and what he'd done was put so much polish on the battery terminals they were virtually insulated. A quick rub around with some emery cloth/paper and all was fine and the truck started first crank. Can't speak much for his paintwork though, it needed a respray as he'd worn through all the laquer coats on the hood and roof.
