Sorry to hear about your IR failure but as other people have pointed out it's not the end of the world. The first time pass rate for IR I believe to be only around 30% ( so my flight school told me ) All the people there who failed first time went for the series two. The reasoning behind this was if you partialed next time on sometihng silly you wouldn't then have the opportunity to clear this possibly minor miskate. This did happen to two guys whilst I was there and boy were they glad they went down the series two road.
But hey you pay your money and take your chance, good luck !!!
