Anyone got much experience with the M60B40? Mine's been running like a dead dog and I thought it was missing on one, turns out it's missing on an entire bank. Had it in at my specialist but he's out of ideas. He's checked and it's got good compression up and down the whole bank, reasonable...

In preparation of the probes letting go at some point, I'm trying to clarify what (Bosch) probes I'd need as RealOEM doesn't list the probe (No.9) under the diagram for my exhaust. It does however list two on the next diagram, but it's not my system? Part number 11781247475 seems to be from...
