The Haynes manual shows the speedo cable from the gearbox in the instrument cluster but nothing about the odometer. Me wiggling the speedo cable must have moved something to make the odometer work again.
My rev counter is a bit hit and miss, sometimes it will work fine, then not work.

Gave the speedo cable a quick wiggle, started the car rev counter working :) (does not always work) drove down the street and it was recording miles again. Not sure what I did but it worked.

Likely to be awkward to fix- probably designed to be hard to modify to prevent clocking ! Good Luck.
