Agree. My NM would zap me at the slightest provocation. NW is much better.
Fitting a static belt won't help because the car is already grounded. What you need to do is ground yourself, because it is you that is carrying the static charge, not the car.Chris

Yes me too. BTW I have a 2WD sedan as well as the PJ and get zapped from it as well.

Always had static from my NT. When I remember, after being bitten a few times during the day, I use my elbow to close my door. Seems to be better than the zap to the end of my finger.
For a matter of interest, which way does the flow of electricity come from?? From the build up of static in our bodies, or from static in the vehicle??Cheers, Tony.
