   befor the cold weather set in my temp gauge would rise quite fast upto the 1/2 way line and stop but now the gauge will take about 10/15 min's drive to get about 1/4 is this normal

   Colder weather will affect this yes, it should get up to temperature after that though

   Not really true, anywhere under the red is fine providing the cooling system is working correctly and the fan comes on to cool everything down
