Xantia bleed nipple size

Having found that the Xantia has M8 Bleed Nipples on the rear brake calipers.
Does anyone know what thread and length they are?
I found loads on EBay for M8 x125 pitch which seems to be the standard.. but I thought I'd ask here for the length, before removing one to measure.
Thanks

Chris,

I bought a couple from Citroen after my rear brake woes a couple of years back and have one sitting in the garage. IF you have any difficult in getting the right ones, I can post this one up to you.

Thanks Kenny,

They're NFP now on the Citroen website. Could you just maybe measure the total and thread length for me please? I just want to make sure I don't order ones that are too short.. I'm fairly sure the thread size will be correct.
No rush.. its for next months pipe replacement.
Thanks,
Chris
