I have a loose door handle, the side by the key hole, for my 2005 Mini Cooper S. I have a feeling it is either loose or gone, guess it could be in the door frame. Could it be missing altogether? I guess it should be captured by the door but was wondering what the size is in case I need to get a new one. I saw one web page that said the head was a 5mm allen, but nothing else. Any help would be appreciated.

Can't help from experience, but here's links to illustrated parts lists and service instructions --- similar to what dealer techs use.

You'll need the last seven characters of your VIN for best access to the info.
