Hi, first tech issue has occurred. Eml has come on and are plugged in and come with p0341 cam shaft sensor fault. Had it switched off then 20 miles Dow n road it illuminated again. Is my car safe to drive, doesn’t appear to be any performance reduction . Dealer quoted 500£ but can’t do it for 2 weeks

OK not had this fault with the Freelander, but on the wife's Nissan.
In that case the timing chain had stretched, the system knows when the crank sensor says the engine is at a specific position, and determines that the camshaft should be at a specific position using the camshaft sensor, if the timings are out of range, then either one of the sensors is stuffed or the chain is loose and it will not let you drive/start the car.

Could be the crank sensor (lives covered in muck and has been known to die.
Could be the camshaft sensor, not heard of one failing but quite possible.
Could be the wiring to either - a scope would tell you if the signals weren't regular.

Or could be timing belt/tensioners.

The timing belt is relatively long lived - 150k miles or 10 years (LR recently changed to 7 years!), and is not known as a regular failure point, possibly because most owners change it before it is due - 150k is a long time for a timing belt.

If it's a sensor / wiring you most likely will do no harm, but it might fail suddenly leaving you stranded.
If it's the belt / tensioner and it does fail it will probably scrap the engine.

Without knowing more (ie proper diagnostics) I would suggest you park it up, as a trashed engine might cost more to repair than the car is worth. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

thank you, for your reply,

the light has become an intermittent one , so off to have check,
not had chance to explore properly as was away from home.

appears the belt has slipped slightly or something to do with the key way ?
any way all being dealt with on warranty but not using vehicle at all until sorted

cheers chris
