Capacitor for radio supression?

On the n/s engine bay chassis leg of my S4 there is bolted something that looks like a capacitor and nearby a stray black cable leading from the dynamo that was probably attached to it. Does anyone know the function of this and spec/source of a new one? Thanks

You are probably right in thinking it is for radio noise suppression; the commutators in dc motors and dynamos are notorious for creating radio noise.
Not sure of a substitute though, Ordinary ones for electronic equipment might not withstand the temperature, humidity etc of an engine compartment. So automotive ones tend to be encapsulated in bigger containers.
Here's a selection for you to hunt through.

Attached is from the Plus 2 WSM. It shows the various capacitors and where they are located.
