The new filter may be thinner than the old one and neeb a shorter bolt, or washers/cut bolt. This could let it draw in air, so no drive. When I did mine I put washers on the bolt. I think the sump holds app 2 ltrs.

Whatever you do, don't pay for it, nor take the car back, or get into an argument about the ins and outs of the situation.
The Law is on your side.
They have well and truly bodged it up.
Insist that they return the car in the same working condition that you handed it to them or else you'll drag their sorry a***s to court.

Hi ultima4
Glad its fixed. I agree with mr._floppy, though, seems crazy to charge you another £70 to rectify their mistake.

Not wanting to rub salt in the wound but my local tran place, replaced the fluid and filter for £45 inc vat - that's them supplying the filter and fluid.

Got to agree with that old cynic Highlander.
£45 ?
Very cheap.
I bet they sucked a few litres out of the filler tube and replaced it, making the ATF fluid look a bit redder. 
Always check for a nice new sump gasket, at least you know they've taken that off.

West Coast Transmissions in Blackpool - I watched whilst they did it - they excavated about 7 literes of fluid.
Filter was £7 inc gasket, fluid was £20, labour was £18 - took 30 mins.
