the top hose from the rad goes to the thermostat. it will be just there with another sensor which has 2 wires

if so it's fubar.
3 10mm bolts hold it on so it's a piece of piss to check.

taking the thermostat off proves that it's not stuck open which could cause the temp gauge to not move much off of 90.

if you ground the blue wire that goes to the temp sender it should whack the gauge round to max.
if it doesn't swing the needle then you've either a break in the wire or a dodgy gauge.
if it does swing the needle then you've possibly got a bad connection between connector and sensor, or the sensor is goosed.
