As long as you haven't got any serious congenital nasties you shouldn't have a problem. The Class 2 I took (several months ago now), involved:

- a blood test;

- an ECG;

- an eyesight test (which I passed, despite being practically myopic; 1.5 and 3.5 diopters respectively)

- a colour blindness test (which I failed completely, not a single one right, but that just restricts me to daytime flying until I can be bothered to take the lantern test at Gatwick);

- a urine test;

- a hearing test (doctor moves to stand behind you a short distance away whilst surrepticiously carrying on chatting, if you respond you've passed);

- er, that's pretty much it (apart from a few bits and bobs like reflexes, etc).

Mine cost me £120 including the ECG at King's College Hospital, but the AME there has now left so I'm not sure if they still do it.

Bon chance.
