If yer engine looks like this it's a td4 diesel - timing belt = chain

If it don't look like the above, but and it's a Freelander 1 diesel, then it's a rover diesel. Timing belt = belt

td4 is 2 seconds quicker to 60mph than an L series rover diesel. td4 = 12.8s and rover L series is 14.6s. td4 is 110bhp 260Nm. rover L series is 95bhp 210Nm. Generally speaking, both Freelander 1 diesels are betterer than the petrols for reliability.
