hi does anyone know if my 90td5 defender will fit under the short stay car park at manchester airport at 6 foot 6 inch 2 meter max hight:confused:
 
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.
 
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.
 
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!
