They are there to reduce nox emissions which is tested in mainland Europe but not here in the UK...i think?
I'm sure somebody will correct me if i'm wrong :)
I have just blanked mine off and had it mapped out. Cant think of any cons what so ever.
Pros are ofc cleaner intake and you don't have to worry about it failing. I also removed the cooler so I don't need to worry about that either. Doesn't affect the MOT either mine just flew through :)
I've never heard of a diesel failing on emissions. I dont think they even stick the pipe in at my local mot station, ill check within the next week as it due :D
Probably not the case, but the juddering when revving and pulling away etc you mention sounds exactly like the symptoms i got when a IC pipe popped off.
First port of call would be a scan with vcds and see what it throws up.
The lumpy idle is common and many have put down to the dogbone mount at the back of the engine. So you could inspect that first.
The warm start issue is also common and can be sorted with an ecu map, the smoke is nout to worry about it will just be extra fuel from not firing right away.

I had a bulb that was good give me errors. Just swapped it out anyways and was solved.
Seems Canbus bulb checking likes to have hissy fits when it likes.
Exactly the same thing happened when my other half was driving mine last year. Turned out to be intercooler hose, the clips wear down (Crappy design imo)
Thats the Egr and shutter valve. i just wiggled it off, just a vacuum pipe.
You shouldn't have any issues putting it back on unless you drop a bolt, then you have to take the belly pan off, like i did :P
I think the CR engine needs to be primed...i'm sure i read it a few days ago on this forum. PD will just start after the change.
Edit: Smithy beat me to it :)
