Rear drawers - D3 v D4
A quick yes/no if possible.
Assuming rear drawers that require removal of the 3rd row of seats, are the fixing points for twin rear drawers the same for D3 and D4?
Also, I've been told there is a roof fixing for a central division some where in/around the roof light. Again is this common to D3 and D4?
Looking into buying second hand kit from a D4 to fit to my D3.
Thanks as usual.

As far as I'm aware the Fixings for the 3rd row seats etc are the same for D4 as a D3, and the tie down points etc are all the same so drawers for a D4 will fit a D3.
With regards to a fixing point, I've not heard of anything in either car, but that really doesn't mean there isn't one. What is it you're looking at fixing to it?Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

Thanks, I'd hoped that would be the case.
The roof fixing relates to a central dividing 'cage'.

From owned both and having stripped middle & rear seats out of both there is no real difference. The facelift didn’t really do much behind the B pillar.
Ducking for cover!
PS Don’t drawers just sit on the 3rd row seats? :

DSL - thanks, apparently the seats come out and there is a 'useable' void below.
Access still available to the spare wheel winch.

Hmmm, the space you free up isn’t that useful as the row seats are pretty thin (~5cm) and curved. I had a load deck fitted for camping and wondered if I could cut an access hatch to use that space but concluded there wasn’t any point.
Re 70k posts, just getting warmed up! Would be more if I had a D3 or D4 but I kicked that habit 3 1/4 years ago.

How can you use a void when you've bolted a drawer pack over it?

You put access hatches in, i agree that there isn't much usable space.
I've just finished (sort of) a rear storage solution for my D3, commercially made drawers are heavy and to me not that useful as they are shallow so made my own.
The kitchen i got cheap off gumtree and has a flip over table which i need to hinge in the middle as it doesn't clear the top tailgate and i'll put a drawer above the kitchen for smaller items like my solar blanket.

Apologies for starting this and not completing matters. Got rather distracted by suspension issues.
That setup looks amazing.
For my part , I bought an experienced set of draws and cages off eBay which came from a D4 commercial, but hopefully no issues.
