Yeah it should take the USA update from the net. The console will go for the latest version appropriate to it.

Yes. No. No idea what you're talking about.

Region Bricking....

in a nutshell

US Wii in the UK is fine to update over the net, it will recognize the correct firmware and download it. updating from NTSC-U (USA) discs is fine as well since the console is on US firmware. DO NOT update from a PAL or NTSC-J (JAP) disc, whether a backup or original, or you run the risk of semi or fully bricking your wii

Good question. If his US wii is set to UK in the country settings will that affect anything? Or would one determine that the firmware is totally irrelevant of all settings on his wii?

Post back and let us know how it worked out.

The Wii will take the update appropriate to it. It won't take a different firmware just cos you change the country settings - one of the reasons you NEVER hear of Wiis being bricked with online updates.
