Freelander 1 Natural safety switch

Can anyone tell me where is the Land Rover Freelander Gearbox Neutral Safety Switch / Range Position Sensor is located , as I think it has gone out of alinement .

The manual gearbox doesn't have a neutral switch.
The automatic has a switch pack on the top of the gearbox.

Thank you is there some where I can get a photograph of where it is so I can see how difficult it is to get to , is it from inside the car or from underneath?

Knowing what vehicle year, gearbox type and engine would help.

Yes sorry it’s a 2005 TD4 Freelander facelift automatic

The switch assembly is on the top of the gearbox.
In this picture, I've put a red dot on the gearbox switch.

This I a great help thank you , do you know if it is adjustable ? If it is where can I fine some information on it?

The switch is adjustable, it's mounting bolt holes are slotting to allow a few degrees of movement.
There is a setting tool for it though, so it remains in calibration with the parking pawl.
What is the issue you're having?

When I change the auto shift to ‘D’ the ‘N’ light come on at the shifter and I get F4 flashing and the HIll descent light comes on at the dashboard, if I then pull it back the shifter just slightly I get the ‘D’ on the dashboard but the hill descent light stays on but it won’t stay in D it goes back to F4 .
The car runs ok and I think I am getting all 5 gears. It won’t start in ‘N’ only in park . Does that make sense?

Ok. So it sounds like a cable issue, rather than a switch issue. There are gear position sensors at the bottom of the gear selector, in addition to the gear selector switches on the gearbox.
I suspect the cable has stretched slightly, causing a mismatch between the gear position sensors below the gear selector, and the switches at the gearbox end.

I'd try moving the cable a fraction at adjuster, and try it again.
I'd also check for corrosion on the multi-plug of the lever position sensor below the gear selector, as this has happened to mine in the past.

Thank you great advice, I will look today and let you know all you have detailed are relatively easy to explore so maybe even I can do it

Could you also assist me I have been working on the TD4 and could a filter at the back of the engine that is like a small fuel filter that is connected to a small rubber hose but it is not connected both ends . Do you know where is meant to go / to / from?

It's supposed to hang down the back, and is only connected at one end, the other end being left open to the air.

Thank you so much fir your reply that clears it up for me thank you
