spare wheel mounting

[ericcs]

my son has just bought a 2012 LWB TDI 4Motion, just the commercial version with 2 seats and vinyl back.
the spare wheel was just sitting loose in the back, and on inspection underneath the car, there is nothing there to mount/hang it.
there is no bracket welded on for the cradle to hang off, or the provision for the cradle to bolt to the body. is this a LWB thing, or something to do with 4motion diff being in the road?

Would someone who has LWB be able to take a couple of pics their cradle mount, and how it bolts up at the back please!
thanks in advance!

I think you'll find it's behind the rear axle and beside the rear muffler. There's a big bracket held in by 2x 17mm bolts that tend to rust in place.

I could be wrong...

Had another look, there is nothing at all underneath. Have a funny feeling the wheel straps down inside on the right side back corner?
