Is the radiator clean and clear inside? Can you see a temp difference top to bottom? Or is it still cold at the bottom?
Sounding like a water pump or blocked rad to me.

Radiator is new, there is about 10 degrees difference from top to bottom, ie if top is about 60 then bottom is around 50.

Sorry just seen this, been busy trying to solve other bloddy niggly problems,
Anyway think its sorted I fitted a new voltage regulator as the one I was using was an old second hand one, tested again idling and needle only went about 3/4 way up, after about 45 mins, give it a run out and needle stays about half way, not going in to the red anymore,
Speaking of test driving Had my first proper try today, only about 4 mile or so.
Must be honest it is a pig to drive,
First time I have drove a Series. Are they all like this ? suppose I will get used to it after a while.

glad you sorted it ,are the temperature readings the same from you gun as before, yes a different way of driving double clutching as no synchro in first and second and the no power steering
I know you can fit power steering one involves destroying the galv on the chassis but there must be a better way, such as anti crush tubes and a clamping configuration .the other is the altering the steering linkages with a expensive kit
i would like to ask a favour could you measure your dip stick from the collar sitting on the tube to the end and the distance from the end of the dip stick to the level mark as mine has been bodged and has several via a hack saw is could be from another vehicle
