Nipple question

Can anyone confirm / deny that the bleed nipples on a BX are the same for the front calipers as for the rear?

I'm looking to replace all 4 rusted specimens on my car and have found mention of Citroen part number 121006 in other threads. Can anyone confirm / deny that this is correct for front/rear/both? These seem to be common to various Citroen models: e.g. ECAS sell them for A-series.

And finally, what about availablity? Has anyone managed to get these from Citroen recently? Guess they probably come in packs of 100...

Thanks, Eric

No idea tbh, but if you do get a pack of 100, i'm sure there's a few of us on here that'll buy a few off you, so you get your money back.

As far as i am aware they are the same front and rear. They come in packs of 2 from Citroen. And yes i agree, that is far too sensible!

Just had to read this thread just in case it was about Konnie Huq (sigh)

Welcome Eric - and apologies for trampling over your first post in an unbecoming manner- how far from Woking are you ?

The front and rear bleed screws are different
Front part number 95 578 347
Rear part number 1210.06

I believe she's the 60/40 split that used to be a Blue Peter presenter...

I've entered a BP poetry competition once - my poem was titled, "Konnie Huq needs a ...." but they never read out my poem

I remember:

Konnie Huq needs a book
To make her good at sex
But I'll opine she'd do just fine
In the back of my BX!

Was my poem that bad?

Not at all, I thought it was great!
