Default Problems With S2000 Need Your Expert Advice

I have a few little problems, firstly the door handle on the passenger side has become very loose i tried to tighten it with a standard 4-star screwdriver but no joy. Also what should the car be idleing at mine idles quite low on start almost as if its about to stall, had the tick over adjusted but the guy said the "ECU" keeps reseting it you need to go to Honda. Also there is a few ding kind of noises coming from the rear of the car usually when i change gear any ideas?

Door handle - Haven't got a clue at the mo...I'm too tired to think that hard.

Low idle - Clean the IACV and Throttle Body (a search will tell you how to do both) then reset the ECU (disconnect battery for a few minutes). There is also a VERY good thread regarding idle problems, hopefully it'll crop up when you search.

Ding Noises??? - Check the exhaust isn't loose. Shake the rear ARB to see if a drop link isn't done up tight. Any further description of this would help us to help you. You are best placed to identify it if you cannot get your S to a local knowledgeable member or an owners meet.

Have a shifty of the FAQ...lot's of helpful stuff here:

Ding noises - also check the spare wheel retaining bolt.
( undo - bit of copperslip grease ) - do up nice and tight.
