Yes it's a disco engine. The gauge doesn't move at all, so perhaps the connection is damaged. I asked my local garage and they said the temperature sender has corroded and might break if removing, so I was hoping for summer recommendations of some garages as I'd like to avoid breaking it myself haha
If the sender breaks or strips the threads then that will be a proper pain, also finding the correct sender is something of a pain. You could put an adaptor in the top hose to take an aftermarket sensor.
I have just done this for pretty much the same issue as you describe.

You need another 110 sender to match the gauge as said and an adapter if required

I got an adapter from here to fit series sender into my discovery 200di
You could try lots gentle tapping with 4oz pin hammer on the sender and keep this up for a long while will eventually loosen threads along with some release agent
