Easa IR (restricted)

A member of our group is carrying out his IMC Rating training in our aircraft at a local aero club. The old ADF in the aircraft has developed an expensive fault. We wish to remove it as it weighs a ton, and will never be used in the real world.( We have an IFR radio fit with GPS)
The local flying instructor insists that ADF is still in the IMCR training sylabus.
As an ADF is now no longer legally required for IFR flight, presumably he is wrong, and a VOR or GPS approuch will fit the non precision requirement.
On the CAA website I can only find the revalidation requirements, that state the non precision approach can be ADF or GPS or VOR.
Can I get the definative answer before we repair the ADF set.
