Not all Land Rovers are useless!
Before and after the S/C install the temp gauge needle has never left dead center after warm-up, but maybe the factory gauge isnt reliable.
You are soooo right! Check out this excellent thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/64252-93-97-coolant-temperature-gauge-modification.html
I did the mod and IIRC yours like mine is a 94 (mines diesel) it works brilliant, have a look at https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/365673-my-lc-80-thread.html where you can see that the OE guage tells fibs!
