What manoeuvres, engine failure etc.

thanx

SEP Renewal
 

Stalls - clean (fully developed) and app. config (recovery at incipient stage)
Steep Turns (AOB 45 degrees)

Circuits -
Normal powered approach
Glide
Flapless

Other possibilities are
rejected take off
engine fire aloft or on ground
Performance approach
Low level/bad wx. approach
Oral exam if renewal beyond five years from date of expiry.

I think thats the lot.

If its just the biannual revalidation then you can do whatever you like, as long as you log an hour with an instructor. The renewal does not consist of anything specific, its really up to you to decide if theres anything in particular you may wish to cover and ask the instructor to go over it with you.

See http://www.bluerobin.flyer.co.uk/jarreval.html

Depends, if you are doing the 12 hours + 1 hour with an instructor ("method 2"), the 1 hour can be anything.

thanx for the info.

Just need to be clear about whether we're talking about renewal (ie old one already expired) or revalidation (within 3 months of expiring).
Renewal - need the proficiency check (LPC) with an examiner as per F3's note with the potential addition of some navigation if you have done no recent x-country.
Revalidation - as per Br/MikeCR but remember you must do at least 1 hr in one go with an instructor and you must get (a) his/her signature in your logbook and (b) an examiner to complete the revalidation form BEFORE your current validation runs out.
For revalidation, I think it's worth a discussion with the instructor on what you could most usefully practise (eg LPC items!?).
