And make sure there are no air leaks and the coolant is circulating properly Through the engine.

this used to happen to my old corsa, the gauge would say it was running cold as if it wasnt workng, but when i parked up it slowely rised, never worked unless i was parked, and the reason its clean is because i had just topped it up, ill drive it round tonight after topping up the oil then take some pictures tomorroe and compare,
thanks for all the help and there were alot of replys, cant remeber a thread of mine ever going so good

If ever you do notice it getting very hot. Stick your heater onto full heat and fan speed 4. It does help. Gets a bit stuffy in the summer though, even with the windows open

you would know if your head gasket had gone  so obviously it hasn't gone yet. mine went whilst i was doing 70mph down the a127 and smoke poured out from under the bonnet
but don't drive it until you fix it or it will!

It can go without it being like that.
