I'd have a look around your thermostat housing, which is well known on the 3.6 to fail along the plastic weld.

When I did the thermostat housing, it was about £110 for the genuine housing from Land Rover. Given they're plastic welded, I'd be very wary of aftermarket, if even available.

If your thermostat housing is good, leave it be.

Get yourself a good set of extended hose clip pliers, plus a ratcheting pair also, such as the below items:
