Just out of interest (leading from the topic about chrome face plates):
Can someone explain how a static shock happens? I have never experienced it apart from when I owned one car (a Peugeot 405 diesel, if that makes any difference). Every time I got out of the car and touched the door to shut it, I got a "jolt". It's never happened to me before, nor has it happened since I changed the car. I presume it was an electrical fault with the vehicle, but what exactly?
