It isn't open when you're on the throttle though bud, so removing it won't change what you see in power and spool time and that. I know where you're coming from, i thought the same when i first looked at it, took a bit of getting my head round it lol.
Yours is genuinely the first i've heard of to throw up the EML and cause problems, every other time i've seen someone say that it's turned out to be something unrelated. Both mine were fine unplugged, didn't skip a beat, i'm open to being corrected though.
Shouldn't change your mpg, Pete, was on there for emissions as Jo3 said. And no need to worry about emissions at MOT time because older diesels only get smoke-tested.
It's situated at the back of the block, near the top of the engine, easily visible with the bonnet up, two secs and i'll dig out a pic.
