Ring up, they will probabily accept you.
I've only got 180 UCAS points, but got on to do Chemistry at Bangor when I applied normally first time around.
Last year when I was apply through Clearing, I rang up a few places, Derby, Kent, Manchester, Chester, Bristol, Aber and they all said they would except for onto the courses that I was interested in at the time.
Just ring up and see what they say.

GCSE's dont count for anything in terms of UCAS points nope, do actual Degress contribute towards UCAS Score?
No. It's just A-levels and other standardised achievments such as Music Grades.

To the OP: if you talking about A2 grades there, and you started your A-levels in September 2007, you have a problem with resits.
Due to the course specification changes, the only modules you can resit will be A2 ones, and you can only resit them in January 2010, after that, you will not be able to resit any of your exams from the 'old' specifications. There are one or two subjects exempt from this, such as AQA IT.
In other words, work your balls off for January resits, or decide to start A-levels again, which will be on the new specifications.
