ANyone know what is the best way/product to remove the brown glue stains left behind on the interior where the leather has shrunk over the years?

I've used Evo Stick's own contact adhesive remover with success.
Acetone is another good solvent.
I'd say apply both using a clean rag - so that you don't remove the upholstery colour.

Try CIF kitchen cleaner

brings up leather a treat

you have to moisturise it afterwards though with some hide food

This is my new found miracle product.

Marks off leather removed
The shine on leather removed (steering wheels a speciality - gives back that new matt finish)
marks on painted walls in the house vanish.

Amazing product

(you use it wet)

I have also used the magic eraser with great success for removing glue, but be careful as it is still an abrasive, it can damage the leather and leather colouring.

As said, will need conditioning afterwards....

Do Tesco or similar sell mr eraser?? If so I'll give it a go! I've used 1001 spray on carpets and leather which cleans it well, but won't remove the brown glue stains.

I used a magic sponge with leather cleaner not water and it cleaned all the glue from magnolia leather.

I used some baby wipes on the Tuscan's interior this afternoon which helped shift some of it, surprisingly. Some of the more stubborn splashes still remain however.

Will do when I get it back and attack it! Dropped the car off this morning at str8sis for its 12k this week, was a great drive in today's sunny cold weather, looking forward to getting it back next week hopefully running even better!
