Heater matrix may be partially blocked - if the coolant isn't changed often enough or someone has used Radweld, K-Seal or similar it can cause this.

A flush using Forte Cooling System Flush might do the trick.

If the thermostat is duff after the engine has been running for some time the temperature will more than likely be running below 80° and you'll feel warm water in the radiator hoses before the temperature gauge reaches 80°.

could just be low on coolant Dave? on earlier psa cars (405) the cold air used to be my warning that the thing was going to overheat soon ;) pardoxically..
