Default speedo revs stuck on 3000 rpm and other stuffs!!!

hi eveyone i new to the scooby world and i ve just bought my scooby today, real fun !!! . i think its a classic for so far!!! 1994 wrx jdm
well to start is
1) my fuel needle is stuck on half
2) rev needle stuck on 3000 rpm when started and only moves between 3. to 3.5
3) my temp needle stuck on half

previous owner fitted a lockwood dials in it, is that causing all the source of the problem or i need a new speedo??
any suggestions but mileage revs works fine though!!!
thanks for your help in advance

Thumbs down

If I had a quid for every thread where someone has damaged instruments with a Lockwood etc kit..............

It could be the needles catching, it could be that the needles were replaced wrong, it could be that the replacing has damaged the instruments.

NOT easy to put right, and potentially, if it's the third option, expensive

Can you not just remove the dial kit?

might be worth removing the clocks, and check what the needles are catching on / if they have been refitted in the wrong place, i had the same problem years ago on my corsa.
