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??

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

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:
