I would pay as much attention to the temperature gauge as I would the fuel gauge, it's an indication that 'something' is happening but not a lot more. I have owned 2 2008 +4's, virtually identical cars except one was a 4 seat. Both had highly inaccurate temperature, fuel and oil pressure gauges. The thing I pay attention to is if the readings change not what the readings actually are. I have checked with external gauges are they are way out for accuracy. When I bought my first Morgan back in 2001, a 1995 +4 the dealer said don't trust the gauges and I have seen nothing that convinces me to change that view. Even a cooking 'meat temperature' tester held against your top hose would be more accurate as a reading then you would know when your gauge says x the true reading is y and you have a datum point. Just make sure the thermostat is not stuck in the closed or open position and you will probably find it's perfectly normal.
