Since ive had my car ive only done short journeys to work so about 2 miles...
But i havent seen my Temp gauge move at all.. i mean is it common it doesnt get hot quick
Im used ot my temp gauge on my old 1.4 moving quick because it used to overheat.
My dads 2.0 Diesel Jag moves up even on the short journey to work.

oh you mean coolant temperature?
it takes forever to build up and normally sit around 80 max. unless you sitting in traffic for ages or you are under really heavy loading.

Plus diesels run cooler, the gauge in my vaux wont rise much if at all on a ten minute journey in this weather.

Mine will start to move towards 70 after about 5 mins, but don't worry! Just take it for a half hour drive or something, it should sit at about 80 under normal conditions! Your oil temp will take ages to get up, mine normally sits just under 90.
