Hi, I've noticed every time i turn the heater on after the cars been fully warm, the temperature gauge falls back slightly.
Is this normal?

No, it's a sign that the head gasket is gone.
Only kidding, I can't say that I ever noticed if the needle dropped a little. The needle usually stopped at dead centre, if its dropping to say 1/4 on the gauge it could be a sticking thermostat.
Keep your eyes on the road instead

I spoke to my indy and said its most likely a sticky thermostat.
Not to worry, i have ordered one and will replace when i return from my holiday.

It could well be normal depending upon by ho much it drops back.
