Ive done exactly the same as you mate, new head gasket, thermostat and rad on my 1.4 8V. It now runs slightly hotter than before (87-92 ish on a run) but Im used to it now and all seems fine. It does stay around 90 on the motorway but goes back to normal when driving slower. I wouldn't worry about it, it's just not what you're used to.

yeah well ive had it for a few months now so definitely getting used to it! but on the motorway mine goes up to 100 and even when the fan kicks in wont go back down really till you let off the hench 1.4 power plant or start going down a hill!
