Picked up my S3 last night on the cheap.

It needs TLC galore.

One thing Iv noticed this morning, the temperature gauge is reluctant to work, and the fuel gauge seems stuck on just over a quarter tank.

Iv been driving around most the morning and the fuel gauge hasn't makes. I only threw £20 in it last night and I'm almost positive it would have decreased.

The temperature gauge functioned fine last night, but now is sitting at 0, and occasionally working then going back to zero.

It's also something worth pointing out the Rev counter is laggy, not smooth and jumps up the range.. Hard to describe unless others have experienced it.

The VCD screen just about reads on the lower part, so the whole clocks seem goosed.

Any ideas on where to start?

It's an X reg, APY engine
 
Regarding the temp gauge problem, I had same issue, new coolant temp sensor plus thermostat sorted mine. Cheap parts and easy to DIY. Well the stat is a pita but ok.
