Default Duff Thermostat

Decided to plug my ELM327 into the car whilst on a long motorway run so I could monitor the coolant temperature.
It didn’t rise about about 75 Celsius, and fell as soon as load was taken off the engine.
Me thinks ‘stat has expired in the open position.

Any tips on replacing it?

Who on earth ever decided it was a good idea to get rid of temperature gauges from cars.... may partially explain my absolutely pants mpg!

Car is a MY2010 euro5 D5 205bhp

Edit: found a thread on it - https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=197671
Think it’ll be going into an independent specialist to be done, too much hassle for the time I’ve got!
