Will fix your problem
Will stop it going wrong in the future
No more soot in your intake
No more blocked butterfly valve and clogged sensor
Cleaner diesel burn so will leave the engine cleaner
Less engine wear long term
Less smoke from the car when driving so more likely to pass MOT test
5 minute fix

Con's:
Slightly increased NOx emissions
Will log a pending EGR fault code but will NOT put the light on if you unplug the gray connector on the EGR
I can live with this option.
Removal looks like a lot of hassle if a simple plate will resolve my issues.
