OK, and update on the fun I've been having.

1) Got everything to do the job, managed to break tab off bank2 connector (seems very brittle, I guess 'cos near turbo) but otherwise strip down went fine. Until I got to that banjo bolt on bank 2, re-read instructions and saw EGR cooler etc. needed removing. So, chickened out and put it all back together!
2) Took car to local German car fettlers where they did the work for £230 using my parts. Driving home that sodding light came back on! It turned out that the motor on the refurb bank 2 runner I got was duff, so I refitted my old one.
3) But, of course, garage on finding locking tab missing from connector had superglued it in, which meant I did even more damage removing it, so it's now all held together with silicon self-amalgamating repair tape.

Anyway, light off, and no faults despite multiple start/stop cycles and lots of revving. Will give it a drive tomorrow.

Thanks all for your help.
