The clutch hydraulics in your model freelander is a fully sealed plastic system and as such (as far as I am aware) there is no way to bleed the system. Likewise normally there is no way air can get into the system unless it has failed. Did you take the hydraulic system off the car? If so may be it was laid on its side and fluid leaked out - or was the plastic pipe damaged doing the gearbox job and let fluid out - is there fluid at the correct level in the reservoir.
You say the slave piston was out a fair bit - I thought it was not possible for it to actually come out as the system is fully sealed but not sure - if it did come out then air in the system is a possibilty.
If not a mechanical issue down on the gearbox then I think you might have to replace the clutch hydraulics - relatively cheap Clutch Master & Clutch Slave Cylinder Freelander 1 - 4WD Spare Parts | Toyota | Nissan | Land Rover | Landcruiser | Patrol | Prado | Land Cruiser All 4x4
