Can anyone recommend anything please?

Here is a box that I have used to match my stock fuel sender with a VDO fuel gauge. It will work to match any sender with any gauge. Even reverse resistance situations. It is pretty trick and simple to calibrate. You have to calibrate the high and low ends of the scale, and the box will interpolate the in between. It will work in your case as long as you have the capability to measure the true temp with an alternate device (probably a cheap IR gun)
