    what black cap bit is this? and is it easy to fit?

    not sure what part you mean? would it be easy to go to a machanic to see what they say about it.

    take the plastic cowling off from round the steering column. if you look at the back of the ignition barrel you will see a black plastic cap type thing. this just clips off and the plug just pulls off also. try replacing this for starters and go from there....

    you dont need to hotwire it if you look at the black cap properly

    its sounds like the black box, could either be the hole has worn away, or the screw on the box might have come loose, you could try cheating and putting a zip tie on it and see if it helps?
