Will see if this makes a difference to the mpg, found the info on maf and map sensors in how to section.

Not sure if your gauge is faulty as the commonly held view is that at normal running temp -and 84 seems reasonable for a diesel - the gauge needle should be at quarter to nine - others more experienced in the diesel will hopefully comment.
