If it's an in-dash thermometer, the part itself may be not expensive, but replacing the entire dash face prohibitive for such a small gain. (One of our cars uses some sort of clips for holding the dash on which are destroyed in the process of removing it, and even when new, they were pricey.)
If so, send to Canada for the sort of thermometer that you stick inside the car with a wire lead out the door for the temp sensor. Those are around $10 at any Kmart type store.
Actually, most of these in-dash thermometers these days are digital. So I *suspect* that it's a matter of flipping a bit in an EPROM somewhere in the engine in most cases, although that's just a guess...
