I have recently moved into a house with a Potterton Boiler and PRT2
room thermostat installed in the hallway.

The thermostat has numbers on them but they don't seem to correlate to
the actual temperature, at the moment we have it set at 15 which is
reasonably comfortable!?

Is my system set up wrong? Do I need a new stat, recommendations
please!

TIA

It's a Celsius thermometer.

Sounds like it is working well. 15C is a good actual temperature for
a hall. Presumably you find the temperatures in other rooms about
right? If so then it sounds like it is time to leave things as they
are.

Every room thermostat I have ever used is slightly wrong when measured
against a good thermometer close to it. Just set it to whatever you find
comfortable.

Other than the numbers perhaps not matching up with expectation, does it
work in all other respects?

If you turn it down does the heating shut off, and if you turn it up
does it kick it into life? More importantly does it regulate the house
temperature resaonably well?

If the answer to all those is yes, then you have nothing to worry about.
