Post a picture of what you think is wrong.
I don't know a particular fuse that would directly affect engine performance. The 1.8 ECU doesn't have a limp mode anyway. It either works or it doesn't. Only external factors can affect performance directly. Things like plug, coils, fuel pump and injectors can affect the running, if one is faulty.

So the car had its fuses removed by the police after it had an attempted theft the guy i got it from thought he had out them back. My mechanic cant plug it into the dignostic it wont accept or recognise the laptop to dignose.
The only issue is decent light and the linkage apart from that the mechanic says its in limp mode it wont steady revs over 2.5k after a min of running there are a couple of fuses missing wonder if that would power the dignostic part

I suggest you find a mechanic who knows what he is talking about. The Freelander 1.8 ECU doesn't have a limp mode, or any other form of limited operating strategy. Besides if it were in limp mode, the MIL would be on.
The HDC light could be something simple like the throttle cable set wrong. But it could also be a gearbox switch faulty.
Your lack of power above 2.5K could be.
Plugs, coils, HT leads, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter clogged and possibly even cam timing incorrect. It won't be limp mode because it doesn't have it.

I mentioned this in a previous post. It needs to be pretty slack at the throttle body or HDC the light comes on at 5-10 mph but has no effect on performance. Having said that on one of my K series cars I never discovered the issue and ended up taking out the dash and blanking off the light with a bit of black tape.
As for lack of power, have you checked the timing?
