My LNAT is tomorrow and until now I hadn't selected Oxford or Nottingham as universities I intend to apply to!! 
If I did not do this would Pearson be unable to send Oxford and Nottingham my LNAT results (and therefore receive an outright rejection) ?!

No, if you log on to your LNAT account, you can change your uni choices, so they will send your results to your new unis. I had the same worry but it takes a few minutes to sort out online.

Congratulations! Out of interest, how long did they take to give you a decision? What is your offer? And what were your as grades?
I've applied there too but have no idea how long I should expect to wait though (it's my only choice that doesn't give a general idea of waiting times).

How important is spelling in the LNAT essay? I'm afraid that I might have misspelt 'politicians' in most of the essay. For some reason, whenever I'm typing fast it comes out as 'polticians'. How much would I be penalised for something like this?
I would say that it's pretty important, but really depends on the importance of the mistake. However, it's not like they won't like your essay because you made two-three mistakes. The structure is what's important!
For some reason though I believe we had the same essay choice :P

I ran out of time in the end to check over it. How important would a mistake like mine be? Anyway, it seems that certain questions do crop up again. Talking to a few others, it seems that my essay choices weren't as bad as others.

I can't really say, as it depends on the person reading it (who is of course much more qualified than me to say). However, for me, this mistake is negligible. They know that time can be very stressful, especially since we're not allowed a break, so I can imagine they may see it as a natural one.
The single most important thing about the LNAT essay is the structure. Not your -subjective- opinions, but instead how you present these in an eloquent and clear manner.
The only thing I fear about my topic was how much I wrote about it. I reached the limit and had to alter a few words to get it back to 748. Hopefully they won't penalise me too much on the grounds of "economy of expression".
Just finished my LNAT. I accidentally navigated onto the review section of the essay before writing anything, when I clicked 'end review', rather than taking me back to the questions I got a message saying I finished the exam.
Right now I'm stressed as **** because all five of my choices require LNAT and I don't have an essay to show them..
The test centre guy filed an incident meaning LNAT may allow me to retake the exam, however the oxford deadline is on Monday.
Will it reflect badly on me - the fact that I have taken the exam twice?

I don't think it would reflect badly.
But, I don't think you'll be allowed to retake the exam: they could argue that if you had used the simulator, this would have been avoided. But more importantly, the instructions at the beginning of the test told you what the buttons did and you had 10 minutes to read the instructions. I'm not trying to criticise you but saying what Pearson might argue.
Edit: After rereading, you might have a small chance seeing as you didn't write anything at all. But, from Pearson's perspective, people might use this to force a retake if they didn't like the essay questions. But, email the LNAT Consortium mentioning the incident number and explaining the situation. They would know what to do and whether Oxford would accept a retake after the deadline.
