Anyone now where I can get set from?

There actaully for a Mk1 golf GTI DX code, however probably the same as alot of audi's too.

I take it you've found your problem then?

yep, No.1 cylinder shell totally balls'd. Just want to chuck a shell in by next weekend and then do a compression test as there doesn't seem to much compression in the engine either

Whys the shell destroyed? Has it damaged the crank at all?
If you just go ahead and replace it without knowing why it went, then you could easily have it happen again.... just something to be aware of.
