Doing the HG is a piece of pie. I've taken the head off *that* many times on a 162 I can do it in about an hour and a half by myself, either with intake manifold attached or unattached and left in the engine bay 
Unfortunately you live absolutely miles away 
CVs - also quite easy to do, just make sure you have a 30mm socket handy (well it's was 30mm for the hub nuts on my GT4, I think the 162's are the same).
As for 2nd gear synchro, I wouldn't bother reco'ing that. If you are bothered by it chuck some thicker oil in the gearbox and maybe some additives (which are usually just 'fancy pants' viscosity improvers). Actually I tell a lie - i *would* bother to recondition the synchro, but I wouldn't recommend that anyone else does  Too much hassle/$$$.
The power window thing, I'm guessing that's related to the switch? I've had the same problem in my GT4 and it makes me want to kill the damn power windows altogether. Save yourself the trouble and get a good auto-sparky to have a go at it.
Although I don't know about the ECU - I would hazard a guess that ALL of the auto-transmission stuff is taken care of by it's own ECU (ECT I think? Electronic Control Transmission) which is from what I've seen just another computer that sits under the stereo.
Also - it's really REALLY common for older ST162s to run rich, so it's quite an easy assumption to make when they exhaust gas starts to look a bit cruddy. As for what causes it, well take your pick, EGR, EGO or AFM or ???. I've never got around to checking any of 'em.
Oh and two more final things. ST162s break alot, so get used to it  Secondly - if your car is using oil, make sure you top it up like crazy, the last thing you want to oil surge - 3S-GEs (along with many other engines) will quite quickly kill a bearing if starved of oil even for a moment. First tell tale sign of oil surge is for the head to make a slight ticking noise on hard cornering, and eventually even hard braking. If you can hear this, then be careful!
