Its like batteries, you dont have one that is iffy or on the blink, you get a new one or its curtains.
if it really cold over there at the moment you can fit a 2wd thermostat in a 4x4 thermostat housing this would mean you would get warm air straight away from the head going into your heater matrix, and then the stat would open up once engine has reached it running temperature
you shouldn't find any enrichment from the ECT if it doesn't drop below 60deg and i'd be shocked to see it drop that low when running
