Xe Spec and BHP

Xe Spec and BHP
Hi all,
I just purchased a 2015 xe yesterday.
Please can anyone help with the following three questions?
1. How can I find the original car spec from my VIN. SAJAB4AN1GA926624
2. Can the BHP be increased from 163BHP?
3. Can the online service history easily be accessed?
many thanks
Nigel

Welcome to the forums Nigel,
1. The VIN does NOT give the specification. It only gives the following basic information:
PREFIX 1 to 3
World Manufacturing Identifier
PREFIX 4
Market & Airbag Specification
PREFIX 5
Transmission & Steering
PREFIX 6 & 7
Body Code
PREFIX 8
Emission
PREFIX 9
Check Digit
PREFIX 10
Model Year
PREFIX 11
Assembly Plant
PREFIX 12 to 17
Production Number
For the specification, you require the Build Sheet. This is available on Jaguar TOPIx but access to the information requires a paid subscription by the hour, day etc. Alternatively, a Jaguar Dealer may print it off for you.

3. OnLine Service History (OSH) is only available for European market vehicles. All you need is the VIN and you (or anyone) can access it:
https://osh.jaguar.com/
It used to require an account and password but this security was removed.
Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.

Many thanks for your help with this Graham - really appreciated.
Unfortunately I don’t have a Topix account- it would have been good to see the original spec and colour details.
I looked at a number of these XEs before buying (some very low mileage) and all of them had while smoke coming out when the dipstick or oil filler was removed - this seems a standard situation- not a problem?
