no not yet, kids are off school, mrs works in the morning so taking it into garage on monday, just thought i would ask on here first so i can get a rough price of what its going to cost

It's shouldn't cost anything as the clutch fluid should be bled/renewed when the brakes are done.
It adds about 2 minutes to the job.

I agree that it sounds like the garage didn't know that it's a combined fluid reservoir, or they weren't careful enough to maintain levels during the replacement and there should be no cost, but with the risk of being told you're teaching them to 'suck eggs' it's worth advising them to 'reverse' bleed the system.

After changing my clutch/DMF/slave cylinder I couldn't get all of the air out, even with a pressure bleeder... after many attempts I did it first time using a 60ml syringe and a bit of flexi-pipe, 'reverse' bleeding from the slave cylinder end which really did take 2 minutes (or less!).
