Engine Temperature High

Does the Ingenium have a thermostat?
Mine was over-cooling and needed a new waterpump. The waterpump not only has the standard impeller but also has an electrically controlled shutter (Valve) that restricts or re-directs the flow, when this shutter fails it is supposed to be driven open by a spring, hence my over cooling.

I notice that you are driving in Eco (why!!) this turns off the air conditioning, when airconditioning is selected one of the fans runs constantly. Is it possible that the other fan has failed or it's circuit has failed and going back to "normal" running would allow the air-conditioning fan to run creating enough air flow across the radiator to cool the engine - worth a try.

Been wading? Have ruined two radiators on the Freelanders by blocking them with mud, the mud (clay) then bakes and is impossible to remove without damage.

Tried Eco once, why would you turn off the air-conditioning and lose a big chunk of power just to save 2mpg?
Enjoy the fact that you have a big, heavy, comfortable car, you are paying a small fortune for the privilege, fuel consumption is a small part of the running cost.
