Yep. Checked the cost today and ABZ Long stay is £39.99, Short stay £64.00 and Airparks £22.28 for the 4+ days.
Taxi is about £50 return. We have used Airparks a few times, especially on internal flights as we only have hand luggage and always daytime flights. Always had good service. Might take the wife's Renault Clio though, as I'm not sure I trust my battery over for days. Probably be OK, but I hate the thought of waiting for the AA with a flat battery.

Pick yourself up a solar trickle charger for the car, I use one on my bx as theres a drain on the alarm from Years back when the battery back up kicked in until it was flat and has Never recovered, was something like £20 for a 5w panel, perfect for these sorts of situation!

Not sure on that one Timmo. Do they charge through the cigar lighter socket. Does the socket need to be "live" Would "Economy mode" being always enabled make a difference?

They can be either through the ciggy lighter or croc clips/wired to terminals as they have a male-female pulg on the lead,

3m+ of Lead! ;-)
Mine sits on the dash on the bX, wire comes up through a hole in the cracked clock tray, goes out to the engine bay via the mass wiring grommet on the passenger side, (id guess the steering shaft hole for a lefty? )
They charge very well in normal overcast daylight,

Can't see me making a way for a cable through the bulkhead. Wouldn't want to find a ready made way, and wouldn't make a new way. The dash is like the Starship Enterprise.
