Would like if

Hi,

'I would like to do it if I( have/had) the time.'

Which choice is correct?What type of conditional is the above mentioned sentence?I'm confused because 'would like' is not the same as 'would' which is used in second conditional.Can 'would like' be used for first and second conditional alternatively?

Thanks

If I had.

I call it the second level, the first being "I will like doing it if I have the time," the third being "I would have liked doing it if I had had the time.") Likedoesn't really change the structure, although it does seem to get in the way a little bit.
