Car parking for Heathrow (T3)

Has anyone any suggestions on the most economical and convenient parking - 3 weeks over xmas and new year?

I've just got back from New York via Heathrow, parked with purple parking. I have to say they were great. You book online, print out a booking reference which you hand over to security at the entrance, park up in a designated area and walk about 50ft to a number of minibuses. The drivers ask which terminal you want and direct you to the relevant bus. It took about 25 minutes to actually get to the terminal, so allow plenty of time, particulary during rush hour.
On returning, you ring a freephone number from the baggage reclaim hall and then meet the minibus at one of the bus drop off points. Get driven back to the compound and collected the car.
A nice touch was paper sheeting to protect the footwell.
I would definitely use them again, and they were the cheapest.....

I would agree with everything my fellow Derbyshire resident, Tight Git has said. Myself and my brother have both used them within the last month and they were great.

When booking, go via Quidco if you can to get 10% cashback and enter the promotional code 'TIPO' (without the apostrophes) to reduce the price. Mine was halved when using this code, giving me 5 days parking for under £17.
