The T5 car park was desighned to be able to take a standard transit (new shape) with beacons on the roof ie 2.1m obviously to allow access to Emergancy services and AA/RAC Etc, there is a couple of aircon conduits in the park on all levels except level 4 Fastrack.
So far there have been 3 strikes ie High roofers crunching into the barrier BUT they didnt get in and caused concern only to the owners as they had been daft enough to disregard the 3 sets of flashing lights that told them they were overhieght!!!!, the day of the Paralympics return a chap turned up with 2 disco's one had been extended up and that fitted. if there are any concerns then use the lower ground by coming into OVERHIEGHT parking we can get artics in there. If you do have a drama crunch into it and claim!!!! oh and tell us and we will do the same, im searching for the bit today....cheers
The place is still a bit tomtit though and if you are parking for any length of time prebook it at BAA.COM For better discount. bloody £4.00 an hour!!!

OK, I've just been back and I was talking comlete b******s. Oh the embarassment. Mainly because when other people are fantasizing about wimmin I obviously fantasize about car parks.
The clearance in T5 is absolutely fine and I imagined it all. Promised grovelling apologies to Cossie. Terminal 5 is lovely and they didn't even lose our luggage.
DO watch out for the Newcastle Royal Infirmary though - their carpark DOES have low bits they don't tell you about - I can't have imagined that one because I've got a dent to prove it (couldn't be arsed to sue them, so I've still got it).
Off to book my place in the funny house now...:eek:

Pastmaster no probs at all and if you use ANY NCP car park at all prebook it it will be cheaper ncp.com any one else with Heathrow drama's drop me a line i CAN help. Andy
 
Ok, its 194mm to the roof, 198mm to the top of the roof bars, and 210mm to the top of the sunroofs when fully open, and the car does seem to raise up and down when setting off and parking, I also read a review that said it did this, by 20mm I think.

Cheers all.
