Good point, will retest spade connector.I take it that if i run a wire from the earths below the battery to the spade connector, then turn engine on and wait to see gauge rise to max.What about if i remove stat completely.Where would the gauge read at if the system had no stat.

no mate unplug spade and touch to engine-with ignition on-temp should fly to red -sometimes-the spade is corroded and has to be cut off-then fit new one

Little sign on temp gauge turned red but needle on gauge never moved.I take it this means the gauge has gone.

Sounds like it  Is the gauge available on its own? No idea, I'm sure others will advise

I had the same problem on my Catera V6. While re-sealing the cam covers, I changed the connector, the sending unit and also the thermostat, since everything was already in pieces. Didn't help, so it has to be the dash gauge. I've got it about 6th on my current list of maintenance fixes. I always check my coolant while seeing to the oil (I actually never start it in the morning without checking the oil - I'm retired and am not looking forward to dash removal. I have found I always neglect to hook something up, no matter how fastidious I am. Is the 2.2 easier to access the head unit on the dash?
