the live one was bloody hot.

Dodgy fuse clip. The fuse is on the live pin, so a difference in
temperature on the two pins usually points to this clip, not the pins

Multi-kW appliances should be fitted with a good brand of plug. The
"market stall" grade usually do the job for most things, but you
notice the difference with vibration (the screws work loose) or high
currents.
