My new Antex XS25 is a lot hotter than my old one. Both still work, both same model. Is this a change to reflect lead-free working?

That could just be dirt/corrosion leading to reduced heat transference on the old element.

Was your original one made for 240v and the new one correctly rated for the now 230v mains?
Dagworth
Both say 230v 25w on the handle. Not that the mains voltage actually changed in most places, a quick check with the multimeter here says mine is 241 volts
