Posting to the list can seem intimidating, but it's really simple. 
You just send an email to the list address and the "list server" will 
receive that email and forward it to all the email addresses that are 
registered on our list. Note that the server will only forward mail 
that comes from registered users, so you can't do this from an 
address other than the one you registered.

I have the full AT gasket kits, but I'm not sure if you really need 
them or if they include the seals that you're after. They contain a 
multitude of paper gaskets, rubber O-rings, and all the simple rubber 
lip seals that are used in the valve body. There may not be any of 
the kinds of things we generally think of as "seals," with the steel 
backing and the garter spring. I can check if you're really 
interested.  

You should read the Bentley manual AT chapter carefully. There is one 
seal between the AT and the diff that VW changed their mind about and 
installed in a different direction after some date. I'm not sure when 
that happened, but the change was made to keep one of the fluids from 
crossing over. That's all covered in the Bentley.

I don't think shipping one of those kits would be that expensive to 
ship to England, probably under $20, because they're pretty light.
