IF is a big word! In mine, the prop goes to high RPM (flat pitch) when
there is no oil pressure, so that is what would happen with an engine
failure.

Looks like you want to try it at 68 KIAS.

Compared to 140 and newer MB S class, the E320 seems simple to maintain.
That is why I chose to hang onto my 240Ds a few years ago.

Interesting discussion on the W140 forum at BenzWorld. Here are things that
have been suggested:
1.) Failing EZL (ignition module). When it hiccups, it throws a soft code which
kills the system. Disconnecting battery resets soft code, which allows it to
run again until it throws a new code.
Before I owned the car. It's in good shape, I've checked it.

Does glide ratio of a Cessna improve with weight like ballasting a sailplane?
