Whats 2mtr your 90 or the barrier

Post your address ands I'll pop round with my tape measure.


FFS!

my standard 90 19j van back sits 6,6 high td5 may be a little taller due to bigger wheels.

also the barrier may be 6'6 but you can bet if its a multi storey there will be drain pipes on ceiling causing the 2 meter max issue.

What with, the prices you charge


You've bankrupted poor old Oddy

to the OP there is a small shortstay carpark for tall vehicles at terminal 3 & I've driven a disco under the drop off/ collection point at terminal 2. with loads of room to spare.

put on smaller tyres

let the tyres down and take a pump

Look on the website for the overheight vehicle car park - my 110 TD5 is just under two metres tall but I never risk 6 foot 6 car parks - too many near misses with signs, sprinklers, lights.
Plus some of the short stay multi storeys are tight on the ramps, might be okay for you but a bloody nightmare in a 110 ( three point turns to get down the exit ramp at every level for T2 Heathrow was a particular highlight - about 40 cars behind us by the time we got down )

My TD5 90 (no lift, 265/75/16 tyres) has fitted into the short stay multistory at Manchester Airport - it was a close run thing but it didn't hit anything, unlike the barrier at a viewpoint near Ullapool 2 weeks ago...

I have 265/75 r16s and a roof rack....... I have measured the exact height of my vehicle and added 6 inches.
I have this height as my minimum clearance...... I have printed it out, laminated it and blue tacked it to the dash and have a spare behind my sun visor. A £700 roof rack is the most expensive damage I could do without rolling it over!

thanks miket
