As far as i know each university has its own rules. Certainly there was no capping when I was at uni.

Right, and on the flip side, when I was at Cambridge, if you failed you would be "sent down" (expelled) there were no resits. It's possible that the pass fail mark was really low though, because I did spectacularly badly in my first year and still managed to graduate

When I was at Cambridge I heard about people retaking the year, although if I understood correctly, those people are identified ahead of time, and don't actually sit the exam.
