Does the Nissan Qashqai have camshaft chain?

Does the Nissan Qashqai 2.0dCi 150PS have a camshaft chain or belt drive? Also, same question for the Land Rover Freelander. I had a bad experience with a broken cambelt

Answered by Honest John

The Renault 2.0DCI in the Qashqai is chain cam. The PSA/Ford 2.2 diesel in the Freelander is belt cam and the camshafts themselves seem to frequently fail.
