Mikey Jay Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Confused as to why it's happening, but nearly everytime I get out the car after a drive, the car gives me a static shock when I touch the bodywork. Varies, but can be quite painful at times.Assuming could be earthing related, but don't know how to resolve it?Anyone? Quote
