Similarly, if it was at 91 on a flat road or down hill for about a minute or so with no engine load, stat would open at 91.
I think it’s just a very slow opening stat.
Although it may be good for winter, I’m not sure I’d like it like this long term, so will probably try a different stat at the weekend, or possibly drill a small bleed hole.

HI Sean.
Personally i would run with that stat for at least a few weeks if not longer with the colder weather coming in, we have all tried to get our diesels to run at least 90-92 before opening and then hopefully maintain 87- 89 what stat did you use or have i missed a part that you have already stated which stat you inserted.
As long as the level in the tank is ok you are getting hot air circulation what's not to like, make sure the header tank cap O-rings are good Viton ones and enjoy the warmth over the winter months
