take some fluid and keep res topped up
Just had a call to say they have checked the car and found no leak.
If there is a leak it is possible it was from the gearbox or possibly from the transfer box (whatever that is) caused by them when taking out and replacing the gearbox.
They want me to run it for a week and take it back so they can check it again. They think the most likely thing was that when they were filling the gearbox with oil, some was spilt onto the under tray, although I would have thought they would have removed that for access???
They also bled the clutch again and did get some air out.
They spoke to somewhere (can't remember where) where they were knowledgeable on freelanders and they stated that it is not uncommon for the clutch bite to be very low when new and can ride up after a period of use.

What would be the symptoms if my gearbox was losing or had lost all or some of its oil?
After having the car back from the garage, I was still seeing fluid under the car until Sunday when it stopped. I am not seeing any more.
It goes back in for a check on Thursday.
I am sure the gears are becoming noticeably harder to engage sometimes.
Clutch bite is much better since they re-bled the system.

probably no oil or fluid in now tell them you are going to see a solicitor I bet they put it right and if they do not you want you money back, and insist on it and a small claims court would be great on this occasion
It goes back in for checking in the morning.
I paid the bill using my credit card, so if it comes to a fight, they will deal with the issue for me.
I shall point out to the garage tomorrow that it is quite likely that a seal or seals have been damaged when replacing the gearbox and clutch slave cylinder.
