Camshaft sensor or camshaft position sensor??
I'm in England without the freelander but in a position to call in at a landy dealer, luxury, car runs smooth as silk but has started being a bad starter from cold. Rather than buy a new set of injectors I want to replace one or both of the above. Which one will be the most likely suspect for the starting issue folks? Thanks!

Which engine and the parts you mentioned are the same thing in my opinion

if you have the td4 then cold starting with a faulty camshaft sensor is not the problem the cause problems when the engine is hot.

Starts and runs perfectly when hot with not a trace of smoke. When cold it takes several attempts, runs ragged for a few seconds and smokes then clears almost straight away. Replaced the glow plugs but to no avail. It's a td4 facelift with the BMW engine. Also has the BMW breather replacement fitted. Beginning to look like I will have to take the advise of a box shifter at one of the dealerships as my UK visit is running short
