I've registered on the S1 site and replied to that thread, I was going to pm the person that did the work, but I see he hasn't been on there since April so probably pointless to expect a reply.
The owner got back to me and said he was 'shocked', since it's not my problem I'll leave him to deal with it and see what/if he comes back with. Apparently he was going to contact the person he bought it from.
*edited to add that I don't think it has just been an engine swap, the pics I have of the engine bay, every single detail is the same, it's too much of a coincidence, oh and it does seem to have 16i seats in it, which would tally up with the description in the eBay link.
