The spec has seemed to have changed regarding the size/shape of the megabox, wonder if the plug has been removed?

I believe that's the non hybrid megabox. Not sure why it's different to the one in hybrid Pumas. I've not looked at a non hybrid car.

Looks like there move the battery and now everyone gets larger mega box.

Quote from web 24 : On the first Puma models, the battery is located between the trunk and the passenger seats. The next batch will be different since the battery, supplied by Bosch and sized like a shoebox, will take place under the front passenger seat. Consequently, the “Megabox” will have the same capacity as a non-hybrid Puma.

And probably why certain hybrids had a recall

Is this why I've been seeing this new description 'micro' hybrid, the battery is now under the passenger seat? Is it the same capacity and where has the amp for the b&o system been moved to?

*Update* Think I answered part of my own question

Ford seem very pleased with the drain plug as one of the unique features, I'd be surprised if they've removed it. Maybe it's just absent if you opt for the spare wheel?

Agreed, Ford and all the reviewers made a point of showering compliments on the innovation of the MegaBox. To remove it's usefulness would seem to be a big mistake.
If it's something that is required to facilitate a spare wheel, then it's another reason not to have one.

I can let you all know when mine arrives but my wait will be awhile still! Mines a factory order that I did a couple of weeks ago.

Hi, is the £150 for the complete mini spare wheel kit as my dealer has quoted nearly £400.
