300D no oil pressure!

Help ! my wayward '82 300D surprised me this morning , by displaying no oil pressure when started up . I checked the oil level (the sump is full) and restarted it , reved it gently to about 2000rpm and the needle of the oil pressure gauge just came off the bottom stop.
There appear to be no odd noises , as much as one can tell in a cold diesel , but I have no idea what to look for ,, we need the car for every day transport ,,
All thoughts on this problem gratefully recieved.

The car has done 350,000 and was working perfectly (I thought) .
Ihave thought about changing the oil and filter , but this has never shown any changes in performance before ,, thats all I can think of,, I hope it is not past it's useby date , we have really enjoyed this car .
