I bet you don't know how to do the "cockpit drill" to start with lol
Would that be the checking seat position, mirrors, seat belt etc
But please do elabrate

Yep thats the one Mike, need to be in order of:
Doors - Making sure they are closed
Seat - Rake, angle and headrest position (headrest need to be level with the back of your head)
Mirrors - Adjust if necessary, centre one sould be positioned to give a better view of the offside
Handbrake - Make sure it's on
Gears - Make sure in neutral before starting the car
Put seatbelt on
Depress the clutch
Start the car
Check fuel gauge - Enough petrol/diesel for journey
As already said might be worth taking a few lessons to get into that way of driving again, and yes the books are useful as they describe the way things should be done for the practical test, and what is required.
