On my IRT(pt2!);
Took off in pretty marginal wx. Cloud just above minima, +RASH 18kt X-wind etc etc. After T/O Chx done, funny noise coming from the nose gear, it wouldn't lock up. Told examiner i'd do the hold/ILS with the gear down. Entering the hold the right hand suction pump failed, no big deal. Turning on base leg with the noise of rain on the windscreen almost drowning out ATC the ADF needle locked onto a big CB sat about 5 miles behind me and the airfield. Got it in by the skin of my teeth i think.
Outcome: Pass
Lesson learnt: If it looks marginal, it probably is, and worse.
