Thanks for all these recommendations chaps!

when I had my v6 to get more water to the vaporizer I run the pipe work from engine upto vaporizer then back to the heater.

The Mer cleaner conditioner won auto express tests this year, good stuff.
The fact it won was it cleaned better than all others tested.
The gliptone wins on smell though as all have said.

This morning I took a drive to see a supplier in Luton who carefully matched up the steering wheel and leather seats for liquid colour dye and Gliptone liquid leather 'gentle cleaner' and Gliptone liquid leather 'conditioner' (with the smell which one loves/hates). He first cleaned up the wheel with the gentle cleaner using the liquid and a nylon nail brush before matching up the right colour. Apparently, Rover Smokestone comes in two shades. I will probably end up doing the whole wheel.

I picked up enough for 12 months and so was a good deal. He is the nearest supplier to where I am in north london. He is on ebay and told me he also sells those air fresheners which give off the smell of new leather. I did not bother with those. I had a leisurely drive back. My mate who came with me has had to drive back to the supplier this afternoon as the smokestone colour dye he bought, turned out not to be the right shade for his 75. What bad luck!
