Anyone know the correct value of the blue temp sensor at room temp?

Mine says 2.75K

That's a little lower than the figure I use (3.9k), but it depends how hot your room is!
Stick it under the cold kitchen tap. That should be very close to a constant 5 degree C, and gave a reading of 3.4k on the good one I tested years ago.

The new one I fitted today read 1.9k in the nice weather today.
I thought it was quite good actually as its <£17 from the dealer and
using a 19mm long 3/8 driver was a 1.5minute job :D
