The warning light has flashed up on my Dad's 120k mile 2006 407 stating thst the particle filter needs replacing.

I've heard pub talk that these can just be removed in the UK and the car will still run fine and be legal - is that correct or is it important that it is replaced (at a fairly large cost)?

Hmmn, well having passengered in it several times, I think it gets a decent 'clear out' on a very regular basis on the fairly deserted Portuguese motorways and A roads that it lives on.....

What happens if it isn't replaced then (apart from annoying 'reminders' from the dashboard) - will it damage anything?
