The senders is either bad or unhooked.

Uh oh - so since mine is reading full pressure at all times, is this likely
the gauge itself, sender, or something in between?

Tim - the oil pressure gauge should read 0 before you start
the engine.
When it starts, the pressure will go right up to full scale
(3 bar, or about
45psi) when cold, and when the engine is at operating
temperature, will drop
down to between 1.5 to 2 bar at idle (for a good condition
engine). M-B
spec for bottom end rebuild is around 0.7bar at hot idle, as I recall.
