best stuff to use for leather repair-dreaded drivers door

My daily driver is a Tbar with the leather seats they have been in the car for the full 130,000 so they are a bit tired-not ripped but scuffed and losing their colour!

What is the best stuff to use, is there some sort of dye/paint that i can use to bring them back to life?

cheers

Re: turbo hubs-abs and non abs-help!

On the silver plate in the frunk there's a Transmission line. It will say something like A/TM E153/73 5 . E153 is the gearbox model. If the last digit of the other 3 numbers (in the example I gave in bold a 5) is a 3 or a 5 then when the car was built it had the stock viscous LSD. Just checked it a...
