   Need pictures mate, "black box" could mean any number of things in the engine bay.

   believe it is the breather pipe it basically has an air feed from front of car through large black pipe into a black box top of the engine which then connects via a small pipe to the actual engine block with me or am i talking gibberish

    i'm so confused.
    
    "basically trying to replace the top cover to of the black box"??? Read that back to yourself and see if it makes sense. Literally have no idea what you want to know.

    ok think i follow now. You've snapped part of the air filter housing and therefore the breather pipe isnt attatched. Either way shouldnt be a problem that causes over heating but your oil might be spilling out into the engine bay.

    Thats your air filter inlet, that bit that is snapped joins to your throttle body.
    
    You may get away with a temp fix, but make sure nothing can get inside that pipe other wise it will be sucked into your engine.
    
    A new airbox will be required i think

    3 is the oil breather - excess oil vapour is sent into the intake air so it can be burnt off.
    
    It shouldn't affect the temp of the engine.
    
    Is the engine is heating up quickly to normal temp or to overheat? Heater working ok? Coolant level ok/fully bled, or a funny colour? Oil level ok? Engine running ok?
    
    It may be worth getting someone who knows about engine to have a look as your "bodge job" could end up costing more in the long run!
