When mine went I was in Almaty (Kazakstan) and had no chance of getting a new one so had to find someone who was willing to repair it.
I found a guy that made me up a new top tank out of an aluminium sheet for $200 us and have had no problems with it since and have done 10000 miles with it

You might take the **** out of people from Kazakhstan but i bet you could not find anyone in this country willing to build you and new radiator top tank for that type of money either but then again a new radiator here dosent cost that

Wrong, the plastic just fails with age.
The cap is set to relieve at 15 PSI and vent freely at around 20-22 PSI to prevent damage to the system. In around 1998-9 BMW recalled every vehicle fitted with the early cap as it was not doing the 20-22 PSI thing and causing damage. Don't think Range rover ever did that.

Sounds about right... although I've no idea why it would be designed with a plastic top anyway. Accountants got hold of it probably!

Is there another way to have it. If cap is not venting it will cause a problem.

Mine exploded because the plastic failed but to make matters worse I was climbing a steep hill at above 3000 meters so the boiling point of water was much lower and when the hole appeared the water immediately went to superheated steam and nearly punched a hole in the bonnet . as a temporay fix i used Epoxy and didnt tighten the cap it got me to the repair shop and 24 hrs later it had a new top on it.
For a temp repair you might use Epoxy resin but it wont last long
