Default Rev counter,petrol gauge and temp gauge

Hi peeps my gauges in the car don't read right.The rev counter is lazy despite buying a brand new one,the petrol gauge is erratic and the temp gauge shoots all the way to the top when ignition is switched on.With the sender disconnected it moves just below the white part of the gauge.I'm thinking there's a common link to all these problems as i've changed the clocks with knowing good ones and its still the same result.Can anyone help me? car is a facelift 4x4 saphh

Usually a temperature sender will shoot to the top of the gauge with the ignition on when its been earthed out.................petrol gauge could be just a dodgy sender in the tank but does sound like somethings not right.
