Yes this relay will always get this hot, think it can pull upto 30 amps :s

could be loose/broken wire to coil, hall sensor, crank sensor. all worth a look.

not registering any fault codes so dont think   its a sensor was registering vehicle speed sensor but changed that and still no joy relays dont show on diagnostic machines and would tend to play up once warmed up?.......or am i talking bollocks!
