Additional - feel I should just add the following to my earlier post. This is 'countryside' so a gentle reminder for everyones benefit regarding 1.Dry Stone walls 2.Sheep 3.Mountain Bikers 4.Walkers ( No . . not crisp packets!) 5.Blind corners 6.Corners on crest of 'hills' 7.Sudden changes in tyre grip - even in good weather the road is still sometimes wet in places due to run off from the surrounding hills and under some of the tree lined narrow bits/dips, more so at the Sheffield end,the road remains damp. Sorry . . just want to claify that I'm no green freak and realise this a bit boring . . but well worth mentioning.

if you are out and about in this area try this one - Known locally as Torside it's a small "yellow" road, B6105, which takes you off the A628 Woodhead Road (just before Crowden from the Sheffield side) and drops you down into Glossop.No speed camera's on it until you get into the outskirts of Glossop.It's just a short road compared to Woodhead/Snake and unless it's been changed recently,which I doubt, it's got a bit of everything.narrow bits,narrow bits with water,angled level crossing and the aptley named "Devils Elbow". The road passes between and alongside the reservoirs and is very pleasant in summer . . . in winter at night . . . well that's another story.In either direction it's an "interesting" road but just be careful first time through.Last time I used it, it was to test new brakes and disc's I'd just fitted to an Alfa. . had to stop about 2/3 the way roud as they caught fire!! . . . . Enjoy

Yep tried the Autoglym products . . . .the leather Balm smells . . . well "leathery" really. but 500ml of Balm just vanished into the seat and quite honestly it had little/no effect.I only used two applications of this Simoniz stuff and noticed a huge improvement . . . . . Maybe the Autoglym did all the hard work and this stuff tipped the balance?

Anyone else used this? Symptom - leather seats like cardboard - Firstly Simoniz products wouldn't be my first port of call,however,to try to get some suppleness back into the leather, and having tried most of the products available out there with some/little results, I sort of tried this as a last resort really. Much to my surprise I've got to say that it seems to have worked, far better than anything to date. FOR - it works and it's cheap £3.50-£5/500ml(various offers at Asda/Tesco/Wilkinsons etc). Against - out of the bottle it doesn't have that 'leather' smell,actually it's odour is quite strange and unpromising,but this dissappears quickly. Hope this helps Just to be clear I have no interest/connection with the company.
