Operating Temperature

My "new" 1996 XJR runs fine but; the temp. gauge is always a needle's
width low. I put my scan gauge on it and the temp. is 174.
There was a new 195 degree thermostat in the boot when I bought the car.
should I put it in? What is the normal temp?

The 174 degrees is low, possibly indicating a thermostat stuck open. The 195 degree one is appropriate for your car.
