Anyone used or can recommend a transfer or taxi for Heathrow T2 to Bristol.

They have a shuttle that takes you to Bristol temple meads. Train from there, or may be easy to get a nation express the whole way or taxi.
Bristol airport is out in the sticks btw
FWIW:
A one-way self-drive car would be my choice in preference to a taxi/transfer, £100ish for a MB C-class
Coach to Bristol is 2h 20m and cost about £20.
Train to Temple Meads is about the same time and between £30 - £70.

Just to add, the shuttle is 30 mins from temple meads to the airport

Another Bristol alumnus! Likewise I did it many times. And have even done it on business trips as less of a faff than train to Paddington and backtracking on the Heathrow Express.
Sorry for that the wrong way round I had BRS-LHR
So LHR - BRS
Option are 1 way car hire
Train or bus/coach to Bristol temple meads.
Airport shuttle bus to BRS (30 mins) took about three hours going to LHR for me last time I did it.
Have you priced a hire car OP? Sometimes they are cheap going from smaller airports to main hubs for one way hire. We used to have a deal where we only paid the fuel to take car back to LHR with Avis and Hertz.

The OP hasn't mentioned BRS.

BRS = yes.
Leaving out of BRS so car will be there.
Return Heathrow
Return is 2215hrs X 2 pax.
Looking like taxi option.
Anyone recommend a local LHR taxi.

To give you some perspective, an Uber from Heathrow to BRS is likely to be circa £222. Addison Lee is about £275
Local Heathrow Taxi Company (Abbey Cars) £250.
Just for Info.
Plumped for coach to bristol bus station from terminal 5. and taxi to airport.
Total cost for 2 x pax £62.
Coach was fantastic and would definitely do again.
Thank you for all the valuable input.

Daz. I used to use National Express all the time to Branksome from heathrow even when The company paid my expenses. So easy and hardly any difference in times . In fact hire car was the worst idea I had.
Good to hear you was pleased with your trip.
