I am stumped to be honest and getting more than a little fustrated.

From your report it certainly seems that your 'stat is opening too early.
In a working diesel system it would reach the rated 88C and above when the engine is working hard but would fall to around 83-84C when cruising.
70-72 C is too low. So,if you have an 88C stat fitted it should be replaced.
