G'day old plumber,
I seem to be susceptible to static and I have got into the habit of holding the metal on the door as I get out. WorKs for me!
Cheers

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.ChrisComment

Me too. Fitted an anti strap , which was good for about 3 weeks, but has started again recently ? Dont begin to understand !Comment

The soles of your shoes is what does it. I get zapped wearing certain shoes mixed with the dry and windy weather.
Try bare foot or different shoes and see if you still get zapped..Comment

Yes me too. BTW I have a 2WD sedan as well as the PJ and get zapped from it as well.
It seems to be dependant on the weather/ time of year. Right now it is bad in Sydney.

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.

Static Electricity
The wife and I are having the same Zapping Trouble, I had to go out the back and Earth myself with a water pipe to get rid of it, Dry Winds starting in Adelaide now.
