Has anyone tried to swap a euro 1.6 auto for the 1.8 V6 block and gearbox? Straight swap or fraught with problems - any help or comments welcome.

Fraught with problems. You'll need to replace every other engine and drivetrain component between the firewall- out to, and including, the radiator. That includes your half/axles as well.
