Ground school to full ATPL, how long have you got?

How long are the ATPL ground exams valid for once you have a CPL/IR. ie. How long do you have to gain your ATPL?

If you walk straight into an airline job the month after passing your IR on something fulfilling the ATPL requirements it's still going to take 18 months to two years to get 1,500 hours i guess.

I think they might be valid for five years from last ATPL ground exam until applying for the ATPL but i'm not totally sure. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Also, if the ground school exams do lapse, what does this mean? Is your CPL invalid too? Do you have to resit a full ground course or can you just sit the exams again?

Cheers
