Don't underestimate the power of proper, wax based, old fashioned shoe polish.
Some places even do renovating creams- it'll have more leather nourisher, and less tint.

It can't hurt, and a fiver plus elbow grease is cheaper than a specialist.

Now I know I drive a £40,000+ car but I am far too tight to pay a specialist

Think outside, no box required.
Scuffmaster by gliptone will give you an excellent result if you email them your particular colour code they'll mix up a special batch for that particular colour
Furniture clinic is also good.
The particular colour of your upholstery will be found on the slam pannel under the bonnet.

Google Woolies Trim. They do some decent renovation kits.
A top tip for leather seats is to use Hydrophane oil to restore flexibility and strength to dried out leather. An old car I bought soaked up so much that I was convinced it was going through into the stuffing, but I tried using it on leather that was stuck direct to aluminium and that soaked up a similar amount. It evened out some bumps where the leather had rucked up in the sun. Occasional use after the first go and still in good condition years later.
