I will try again and hopefully do it right.
It will be an eye opener if at 9 o'clock it is still "cold" as I do get warm air.
I will have to visit this thread after testing again and seeing what the diagnostics display tells me.
I do not want to fit a digital display and I do not want to run in diagnostics mode, I would like the original gauge to be accurate.

If I fit the other inline stat that is recommended in this thread and that opens when the water is hotter, what can I expect to see when it comes to the needle? Will it sit between 9 and 10 0'clock or will it rise to between 9 and 10 and then the stat opens and the needle drops to 9?

It will sit at 9 o'clock.

It's worthwhile running the diagnostic mode for a few trips after you've replaced your stat.

You can then see the needle sits at 9 at 75c and stays there until you hit you target temp, and then it still stays there as the water circulates, cools and then gets hotter again.

Unless it goes over 105(?) It won't go above 9 o'clock.
