hi
i would check it again after a run when your temperature guage reads normal.
on my focus diesel, if it justs sits on the drive on tick over the needle never moves off cold.
diesel's take a long time to warm up even after revving the engine.
after a run lift the bonnet and feel the radiator and top hose, if they are hot i would take it that the thermostat is operating normally.
if it is still cold and the gauge has reached operating temp after the run, then get it checked out, just in case we get a very hot summer which is when you may hit overheating trouble.
