What temperature should I be getting inside a fridge. Myine is
showing 15 degrees C so in the unsafe zone. It is getting on a bit so
ready to be changed I think but it does work, the chiller at the back
is certainly cold but obviously not cold enough.

Blimey, 15 is nearly room temperature - where the bugs will multiply no
end!

You should be aiming for 4 degC. I assume it *is* switched on?g

Yes hence it isn't being used but it does feel cold or shall we say cool
inside. I can only assume the reason I didn't notice until recently it
that it has been so bloody cold that room temperature has stopped anything
going off.
I wondered if it was on, but the light comes on and the cooling plate at
the back feels cold so it is working but very badly. Anyway it it
sufficiently old just to get shot of it.
I should say that milk and some other stuff has been kept in a small work
top fridge hence not noticing as it has hardly been used.

As this is uk.d-i-y I feel compelled to point out that if the cooling plate
is cold but the fridge stays warm it's probably just the door seal not
sealing properly. Either the door is twisted (just apply twisting force to
repair) or the seal is simply knackered (buy a new one and fit). No way to
fix it with an angle grinder that I know of.
