problem is, its an idiot gauge that shows cold, normal, too hot, the needle doesn't move in an analogue way, it will 'jump' from normal to too hot within seconds
Sounds like a dodgy sender unit switch to me mate and or a dodgy thermostat. Maybe try changing them both and give the coolant a good flush out too and see what occurs. I have read they can suffer from blocked hoses causing flow/overheating issues.

i don't have overheating issues :) but its normal for the gauge to sit in the middle and not move over a large temp range
 
Seen a belter Y reg HSE in green but until my commute drops from 500 miles a week it’s a non starter
There seems to be a sudden purge of P38's coming to market these last few weeks which i have been actively watching and studying. Most are either worn out crap or over priced tarted up crap too with dealers not wanting to answer simple questions about them which just tells me they are indeed TROUBLE with high asking prices. LOL.
And then there are the really high asking prices ones too £12000 upwards and to £25000!!!!!! Mental.
 
Maybe its a dodgy dash pod connection then or pod itself.
Have you access to a spare pod to try???
its very common for modern cars to have a temp gauge that only shows cold normal and "oh ****", car manufacturers dont want customers to keep coming back ever time the gauge moves a fraction over normal, my citron van didnt even have a gauge just a red light to say when you were in the crap
