Default Broken Dipstick... HELP!!!!

Last week i broke of the plastic measurement bit on the end of the dipstick and i really need to check my oil. I was wondering could someone with a MK2 VTR check the length of the plastic bit and where the min and max are marked along it? Just so i can get a rough idea for now ...Please???

Plus where could i get a new one? Thanks

It will just lie in the sump, it won't damage anything. New dipstick is £4 or so from Citroen.
