I'm looking to buy a late 2016 with the updated powershift box.Question is what is different about it?Has it still got the plastic retaining clips for the springs?

No, it's a proper gearbox and shouldn't fall apart like the earlier one.
Make sure there's proof of service. No more than 4 years between services or 37,500 miles. No proof, no buy and a stamp in the book each year isn't proof it's been done.

The biggest failure mode of the early gearboxes was the internal clutch damper.
The clutch damper guides getting destroyed by the springs and the resultant debris getting pumped around the gearbox and blocking the internal filter (starving the oil pump).
The later design has a proper external Dual Mass Flywheel, no plastic fantastic bits to get mashed up inside. The rest of the gearbox is fundamentally the same, you can drive the later geabox with an early Mechatronic unit (and some work).
The gearboxes are completely different bikt patterns, early mate to the Euro5 engines and later gearboxes matr to the Euro6 engines.
My thread has a few pictures of each gearbox.
The later boxes are not infallible BUT the main failure point has been removed.

Mk2 Kuga Powershift (title edited)
Wife rang me up at work saying the car was playing up (Mk2 Kuga Powershift). Got home and managed to get it to fault again. Managed to pull code P0766, shift solenoid D stuck. First port of call is to flush the box, only did the oil change 15,000 miles ago though with genuine Ford oil +...

Thanks for getting back to me.One came up at a good price but I think there is a reason u replied late I wasn't supposed to by it.If U had at the time I probably would have.I have a manual Kuga now 15 plate with every extra even adaptive cruise control , brilliant car but when I drove the auto I wasn't overly impressed with it.I have an old 05 plate BMW X5 i would have sold and had the 2 Kugas.After driving the kuga auto and the traditional torque converter in the X5 the BMW was far superior does not hunt for the right gear to be in.Also the Kuga had 113k on it and I was more concerned about the Mechatronic failing
