im getting a zap every time i get out of my car and touch metal-other than those gay anti-static strips, is there a way to stop this as im a bit weary of touching a fuel bowser!cheers. |

This happens to me almost everytime I get out of my car. Have you got seat covers on? I'm pretty sure that the polyester ones create more static electricity or something like that.
P.s Don't petrol bowsers have rubber handles anyway? |

it messes with your mind to because my mums camary used to do it and when i went to open our gates or shut the door i always got zap. then i was always scared to open the gates or shut the door because u know that your goin to get zapped. Neway it doesnt do it nemore and i dont know why but i like it |

well mine just started doin it too, only like last week. and like ya said, it fuckin pisses u off when ur in a bad mood already. now my fuckin stereo just turned off today, and since then, i got no indicators, my fuel gauge sometimes works, and my tacho light dims cause sometimes the alternator light comes on, fuck all this shit pisses me off, thats exactly the reason i am getting my other wagon fully rewired. babbling again, sorry |

You usually get static shocks like that in cold dry weather. Thos anti-static strips look gay so there's no way I'd put one on my car! If you keep your hand on some metal on the car untill you are fully out of the car you wont get zapped. |
