if you post the vin number one should be able to look it up.

Kind of olive green sounds like Tundra. I'd go with the VIN!

Try using some "Dubbin" on the leather, It should work a treat

It’s worth a try. Much easier that a respray.

I've been told that Dubbin is great for the leather but destroys the stitching. I don't know how much truth's in that.

I have used this stuff on my boots for decades and None of them have fallen apart at the stitching

Know i have grey, but no idea of the "shade", know I have the drivers seat to do some repairs on, so just got a leather repair kit, some good sandpaper, Automotive thinners and a spray can of paint as close to the colour as possible, if it was possible to get the exact colour...

Both the handbrake and High Low range gators were stuffed so am just replacing with a black leather and grey stitched on and if it looks awful, at $35 its not the end of the world.

saw somewhere here an exterior colour thread, interior one would work as well. Having done my head in today looking at wheel designs and still hazy which one pertains to which series, this would be good as well.

Will dig out my VIN, but sadly it does not say what the interior colour is, I know mine is rather unusual. The place in the UK, has the exact matched for all Land Rover colours, and if their hype is to be believed, they can make the seats look brand new.

Thought I better find a new project after nearly killing myself trying to find the heated seat connectors. That was 6 months ago, and I am only now getting full feeling back in my fingers - what a donut !
