They are indeed 35mm. At least on my V6 Coupé. I suspect other models are the same.

Halfords sell 34mm and 36mm sockets, but no 35mm. If you can get a 35mm elsewhere I'd advise you to do that. A 36mm will do the job, but jumping on a breaker bar (which will be necessary if the nuts have never been off before) becomes an iffy experience and after 2 removals you WILL need to replace the nuts (quid or so each) before they become too rounded.
