It's 19.5 cm from the bottom of the dipstick to the lip of the plastic cover bit that will sit on top of the dip stick hole. So if you look at the dipstick hole the metal rod should go down 19.5cm from that point. I'm not 100% sure if this varies from engine to engine and just checked my haynes very quickly which doesnt specify lenght from what i could find. Also the dip stick should have a couple of kinks in it.

Thanks very much for the help, really appreciate it!
Think I am sorted now, slightly different engine, slightly different dipstick.
Thanks again

That dipstick is listed for all of the following engines: DX, KT, EW, EX, HN, JH, RE, 2H. The original round dipstick was replaced with the flat version in the late '80s, and is a direct replacement for the round version. Here are the specs for the flat version:

the plastic tube commonly breaks and is cheap to buy new. as aid pretty mcuh all the dipsticks are the same its just the handle thats a bit different. mk2 and mk3 ones will fit and easily stolen from the scrapyard

disagree, if the plastic funnel makes the dipstick sit further out, then without it, the dipstick would over-read/sit too low
The dipstick will sit 'lower' without the tube therefore take less oil to reach the 'max' mark.
You would only have way to much oil if you somehow made the dipstick sit higher.
That way it would take more oil to reach the max point
