water from the engine flows into the box for the heaters so will get warm anyway,
but the burning smell you mention

The box itself gradually gets hotter and there is a pipe running from the back of it. When I touch that it's almost hot enough to burn my hand:s ?

might be just the heater matrix then, it uses the water from the engine so would slowly get hotter and hotter

Have you noticed your temp gauge to be excessively high?

nope, seems normal to me. Maybe I'm just being an idiot, but I did notice it when the car wasn't turned on, I had it so the stereo was playing as I fitted some neons in the footwells and at that point noticed it was red hot

I've noticed this.
Only hot to touch, but no burning smell.
