Not available on 7 seat version I believe.

On the 5 seat version the spare fits inside where the two extra seats would fit - I know because I ripped out the two extra seats in the last DS to fit a space saver spare from a FL2.
On the 7 seater the exhaust becomes Siamese (ie two rear silencers) and fits in the gap between the two silencers.

Now the rub, the underslung spare is not an option if you have a towbar fitted.
So caravanners HAVE to rip out the rear seats (or buy a very rare 5 seater) as a tyre filled with glue is not supposed to be used when towing. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

You can get both spare wheel and towbar on the old model 7 seater DS as that was on my must have list when I was looking to get one a year ago. It comes with a steel wheel and a skinny tyre and the rear bumper has a removable "bulge" to allow fitment. I also think now that there are aftermarket towbars that fit the 7 seater with spare wheel that fit without the need to modify the bumper. The Landrover part numbers are VPLCT0142 or VPLCT0148.
