only way of getting them correct again is to fill the car up with fuel to the brim and reset the fuel that way and the temp gauge should when the ignition is turned on read at the very bottom of the gauge, they are not accurate so its really just an estimation so the temp isnt as important as the other to get spot on.

as for the speedo best way is to go out with something like a road angle or tomtom in the car and make a note of where the spedo is indicating at say 30 and 60 as indicated by the tomtom or road angle, stop and adjust the speedo needle accordingly and try again.
