from what I read on this forum it would be horrendously difficult. And if there are none of these around to buy, how could I get the parts?

You'd fit an auto box out of a car. But as Guy has said you couldn't get the Petrol Auto on that year over hear.

I wondered if a Scorpio with the same engine and auto box would fit, but worry if the ECU, loom, propshaft etc would work.
I dont have time to spare for long winded conversions.
I have to look at other makes. Vito, caravelle etc.

They were available in germany, but very rare! Most smiley petrol automatics are police minibuses here!

I can't see why you can't put a non electronic autobox onto the petrol "manual" Smiley 
Hell
There's a brand spanking new petrol A4ld autobox in the Transit Club for sale
No electronics, should mean it's straight forward
You'll obviously need the selector, prop shaft and rear crossmember from an auto Transit, whether a new gen/smiley (MK4/5)
Remember
The MK4 petrols were available in the UK with automatic 
Ford Transit 120 TDI EPIC Automatic. 0-60 in a leisurely and smooth 12.7 seconds and 1/4 mile in 19.1 seconds. Now where's all these faster? manual Di s?
