Mercedes 207D towbar and fuel gauge query...

Hello,
I have recently purchased an Autotrail Sioux 1986 on a Mercedes 207d.
Van needs a bit of work but is pretty solid.
I have a few issues that need addressed and hope some help may be offered from the forum:
The fuel gauge does not work. How is the sender unit at the tank accessed or could it be the gauge itself?The needle points to the very bottom of the dial ie. does not move at all.
The previous owner reset the mileometer and says to fill at 300 miles. What is the fuel capacity/mpg?
Where would I get a luggage rack, or info on how to fit one?
Can I fit a towbar, and again, where to source?

appreciate any help, Mike

Hi Mike, sounds like the fuel gauge itself is at fault or the supply to it as the needle would normally move to empty or full depending on what is wrong with the sender. You need to remove the top of the dash to get to the back of the instruments, this iis screwed on along the top edge and at the front edge below the windscreen. As to racks and towbars ,Fiamma make a roof rail and rack system to retrofit to most vans but it is quite expensive, you could look at their website or find a local dealer to talk to and towbars are also an expensive item for motorhomes as quite often the chassis ends a few feet short of the end of the body so the towbar needs to be quite a substantial assembly. There are specialist manufacturers about who advertise on the wed or try a forum search here for 'towbar' as some people have already posted their experiences of this subject.

Hope this helps

Radar.
