The raceglaze alcantara cleaner works well, I use it on the 182's seats all the time.
Spray on, agitate gently with a soft brush and wipe. Leave to dry.
The immobiliser is not disabling then.
Try disconnecting the negative side of the battery for 5 minutes, then reconnect it and turn the key to ignition but see if the light goes out before fully starting.
I take it you've done the test with a multimeter, where you remove the negative cable on the battery and put the meter between the battery terminal and the cable that you've just removed? The draw in Amps should be less than 50mA.
If your car isn't draining it and it's just not holding charge, i'd say you've been unlucky with both the ones you've had.
Can get the Bosch S4 from Euro Car Parts for around £50.
I always fill mine with Momentum 99 and it's fine, filled up with V-Power a few months back and it idled weird from cold.
Could just be the change in fuel...
I noticed you're in Darwen. Take a trip down to Birchdown, they're in Malpas.
Would take you about an hour and half to get there, but it'd be worth it to know it's been done properly.
