The little black hose that goes between the cam cover and that chrome pipework at the front of engine has split.
Anyone know what this hose is called so I can find a replacment?
Car is NA6

I believe it's called a breather hose. Just drive to clark rubber and find a suitable sized rubber hose and cut to length.
OR go to a wreckers or call MX5Mania and ask them to post one to you.

Instead of having all that pipe work cant you just replace it with a filter (as in the miniture pod filters)?

I got defected on my EH (a while ago now) for having a filter on the breather as it was not enclosed

It's part of your pollution control - hence illegal to remove it and potentially defectable
