Doing my head in now...
 

Everytime I get out my other car..mk6 fiesta,I get a static electric shock,when I climb out n shut the door or open the boot,I get a shock..you can hear it n even see it happen n zap my finger.
Only does it on this car n it's starting to hurt now.
It even happens through the steering wheel if I grab it while I'm climbing out the car....why??

That's absolutely shocking. :eek:

Could it be your magnetic and electrifying personality.:drool4:

Sometimes it's down to what we wear, what materials are in the car, or even how they are cleaned. Many used to use static dischargers, have a look here....

Maybe it's a Ford thing as my old X reg Focus used to zap me quite often too !
Not all the time though,it would do it for a few days then not again for ages,then out of the blue would zap me again

Earth it out, simples!!

Same thing when I brush my Basset.

What? you end up with a load of hair all over the place?

There's a delightful young basset hound pup lives around the corner from me, and when I fuss her, I seem to end up covered in stray hairs.

This is the complete opposite to my hound, who's fur is more firmly attached it would seem :getmecoat:

Brian :D

I need an Alfonse, in our house the hair is everywhere except on the Dog (And my head :))

Hope you're not being rude here.--:eek:

Reach out to your car door handle but touch it first with the end of the key.

It will then Zap the key.--(Could play havoc with the circuits though. )--:duh:

I always found it strange that mobile phones are banned at petrol stations but nylon shell suits are o.k
You are basicaly a walking neon coloured van de graf generator in one of those:D

Ye Gods !!!!!!!!


A dog with a wig.

He is French after all :getmecoat:

You're just being flash now.

You need those anti static strips that were popular in the 80's.

Are you positive about this? Why on earth would this happen? Someone should be up on a charge. :shrug:

If instead of reaching out to touch the car with a finger tip, you reach with the flat of your hand, the discharge will happen over a wider area and much less painfully. ;)
