a friend of mine has an 1800 engine and i have just blown my 1600 lump, i know its a pointless conversion but it will get me unstuck for a little while if its a straightforward conversion, is it a simple engine swap or is the ecu etc different thanks

Take the 1.6 out and put the 1.8 in and turn the key :)

Only thing you may need to change is the ECU.
