Just looked in the spare wheel 'well' and there is what looks like a fastening in the left corner nearest the back - but with nothing in it. What should be there?

Thanks!

I took the wheel out and there are no fastenings.
The pic shows hooks holding a fuse box on the top left and the top right holds the sub woofer.

There are rings in the corner either side that I guess are there in order to tie anything loose in the boot.

Hope this helps.

Indeed in my 2008 HSE model there is a fastening Velcro strap. I don't know its purpose, but I have fitted my fire extinguisher there parraler to the ground, with the strap around it.
In the picture above from AiiEEX, I think I can see the strap with a white button at the very bottom left side of the picture.

It's for the hazzard warning sign(the triangle).

It is, as horrie mentioned, for retaining the hazzard warning triangle - maybe its not law to have one in the UK (hense it is missing) where here in Scandinavia is. All cars sold here, new or used, by law are to have them installed on delivery, although mine was also missing when collected. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I can confirm it's for the hazard warning triangle. Even though I got mine in UK it came with a warning triangle which is stowed in the spare wheel well and secured by the velcro straps. I also got a first aid kit and set of spare bulbs.

On 11MY the tool to reset wrong fuel safety device in neck of tank is clipped in that position. All FL2's (3) Gone

Wrong fuel reset device is secured to a bracket which also has a velcro strap attached. The velcro strap is for the warning triangle although fitting both the fuel reset device and warning triangle is tight.

I keep my wheel nut 'key' in it.
