So just the odometer and trip meter parts on the dash needs replacing?

I would assume that if your Speedometer is working then it is the odometer unit in the dash that needs replacing

I agree with Bob, the fault is in the instrument cluster. If you can get the parts you could replace the speedo/odometer seperately. Another option is to try getting the cluster repaired. Do a google search for "instrument repairers" in your area. Otherwise you will need to source a new/second hand instrument cluster.

Could I replace it with any other Nissan patrol odo or are they specific to the model. I have an old 86-87 patrol that's my old mans, was wondering if I could flog it out of there?

I think you will find it will need to be out of a GQ.
