Resistance in the wiring is the issue. Heat will build up wherever there is resistance. If the negative terminal is getting hotter than anything else nearby, then the problem is in the negative terminal.
If the post area is clean, then the problem is inside where the wire bonds to the terminal body. If this is the case, maybe just purchase a new negative battery lead.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Thanks Dr Terry, i did replace the neg battery lead when i replaced all the other parts , it looked a bit dodgy,
I know i probably shouldnt have to but do you think a second earth lead would help ?
