Normal for this patient? was created by Hogweed

That's what doctors say when you consistently give a blood result a bit out, but not too far, and always in the same direction...

So... is this water temp normal for the TF? Oil temp looks OK to my uneducated eye...

My water temp gauge sits exactly where yours is sitting.
If the engine is hot and has been on a run the oil temp seems a bit low.
I wouldn't worry about either.

Mine exactly the same. And as TA said, mine shows a bit more (under 120deg) after 30mins at 70mph.

Just the same as mine.
The oil gauge simply signifies when reading just below 120c when the young bucks can safely cane their engines.
For my part 4000 revs is music enough.
As for the doctor, I get
"given your circumstances everything seems fine"
Which apparently is supposed to make me feel good.

All looks good to me.  That could be a photo of my gauges.

My temp gauge sits slightly higher, but still below the line.

Thanks everybody - sorry took my time, but for some reason I don't get notifications any more...

That's reassuring. The Rover 75s were notorious for thermostat failure - mine (RIP) was replaced twice!

My oil temp only moves up a couple of mm
and my water temp not at all.
When I had the cambelt service it got them to fit a new sensor, still didnt work and mechanic said it will be the gauge , so I managed to sourse a used dash with only a couple of hundred miles differance  and fitted it the other week, still not working . 
So when we get a few days decent weather I will check the wiring , and if all else fails I`ll fit a complete after market one .
Maybe replace the clock and oil temp with oil tem and water temp , Smiths retro cream or red  ones ?/

 I replaced my oil temp gauge and the clock for matching Durite oil temp and oil pressure gauge.
My water gauge is working or I might have done the same as yourself.
I always try to fit an oil pressure gauge where I can as for me it is peace of mind. I didn't mind losing my broken clock!
Btw..the paired gauges above are electrical not mechanical.
As my consule and radio are black I went with that for the dials.
Sorry for the bad pic.

I took a recently acquired TF for a good test run the other day, my gauges showed the same levels as yours.
