mine does too after conversionjust to bring things back down to earth
My gauge runs 3/4 of the way up and stays there with heater on or off, but not overheating, might be as mine is a normal 90 with a 200tdi conversion so the sender on the engine could be different.

Got thermostat today for landy and had planned to come home and fit after tea BUT wifes bloody saab decided that its turbo was hungry and decided to eat all the bloody oil and throw it up the exhaust! so guess i will have to wait till tomorrow to fit it.Dont go far in the day anyway only a sum total of 4.5 miles to work and back so should be ok till tommorow.
Hopin that the needle will sit straight up in the middle instaed of cranked over towards the red almost! It was shut so well that the pressure expanded the hose that comes off the left handside of thermostat housing!

180! problem solved, you're right about the scrapyard thing pal dont do it myself, you just get used to people on forums trying to do the cheapest repair possible, sorry to make that assumption about you.
