Well then. Quick update.
I replaced the thermostat that was in the car with a cheap eurocarparts one that I had laying around from when I first got the car. There was no real change and the temperature was still fluctuating between 70-80c on probably a 10 mile round trip.
I then bought a temperature sensor from eurocarparts and fitted that still with the cheap thermostat in. Took it for a spin and the temperature gauge sits anywhere between 83-85c depending on what the current driving was like (hard up a hill or flat rolling almost)
So there we have it haha. Seems like the temperature sensor was fluctuating a lot and also not reading correctly.
(photo looks like 82c ish due to the way the camera was angled)
