Thanks for confirming. I've been holding off ordering the 90 until dealer could confirm flat floor option was available.

Can you make the rear entirely flat now, without removing the bench padding / headrests?

Did you also get the spare wheel lock supplied by LR or does it come from a third-party?

Cheers.

Load space now flat as seat bases redesigned to tip forward. Much better!

The wheel lock is a landrover part, I saw it on Facebook defender forum and the dealer got me one (I had to pay extra)

Very easy, just drops in and seats nicely. It utilises the existing load space cover. You just slot

it back in.
I'm going to leave in place all the time, have put items in the storage area used infrequently.
It's now a usable flat space.

Is there storage under the original floor too?
Can you post a picture of the inside area of the tray so I can see what sort of compartments there are. Cheers đź‘Ť New 90 on order for delivery in May 2024. D300 X-Dynamic HSE in Eiger

There is no space directly below, the jack and wheel lock nut are there. I did get the removable tow hitch stored under the jack as space near battery

Thanks for that.

In that last pic, what is it that I'm seeing between the folded seats, and the back of the front seats and the back of the centre console? Headrests or the bench seat padding?

Many thanks.

Thanks! I’m going to see if the foam tray can come out under the original floor and repack stuff in there. I prefer a bottle jack to those evil factory scissor ones! New 90 on order for delivery in May 2024. D300 X-Dynamic HSE in Eiger

That's the underside of the tipped forward rear seat bases, they now flip up like all other cars and fold forward before rear seat backs fold down.

It does indeed come out, and reveals a load of usable space. I am going to construct a plywood box type thing to go in there. I don’t want to just chuck stuff in the hole as there are a million wires and the MHEV kit, and the suspension air compressor, so I’m going to separate it all off and make a nice fitted box to go in the space.

How the 90 should’ve been from launch. Hopefully my 24MY year comes with it. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue
