If your car is overheating and you need, for whatever reason, to control the rise, you switch on the heat with blower on max, and reduce load on the engine, by maintaining a constant engine speed. By driving with the heater on, it will slow down any engine heat build up, and a continuous speed of an engine will maintain and potentially lower the temperature if it is moving in clear (and particularly cold) air. Your argument of not having the thermostat opening is moot, without additional background. To add to the previous data required, there is no mention of opening temp of the new stat fitted - is there such a thing as an 84 degree stat for the V6, perhaps even for alternative models, such as the Freelander or ZR etc? There simply are too many variables not accounted for to leap in and condemn components. (just as there are too many variables for a belt manufacturer to allow for and therefore err on the side of caution when recommending replacement times!). If you can account for these variables, you can then make judgements based upon them. If you cannot account for them, then you cannot make a judgement/diagnosis.
