There is a guide on here... On the rear of the thermo housing is a sensor, I guess temp sensor... Wondered if its standard procedure to change sensor after changing thermostat

I would only change the sensor if you have reason to think it is faulty...I would not change it just because i was changing the thermostat...

850 head gaskets very seldom go...
In view of the low mileage you cover i would expect that your "issues" are nothing to worry about...
