Hi guys...I think I might have a problem with my Mini Cooper...
okay...
the problem is...whoever touches the door handle...they got zapped (like the static thing)
especially when I got out of the car and close the door by pushing the door handle.
I know this might be caused by the static...but it is a possibility to have an electrical fault...I can tell because this once happened to my Civic (which happened to be the alarm electrical fault)
Has anyone had this kinda fault b4?
any suggestions are appreciated

Hi Leon1982,
Had this happen all the time with my Cooper. - Simple Cure:-
Bought an MCS -- Not even a Discharge down my leg !

I still dont know why it did it, But Hey, thats phenonomens for you !

This became a really common complaint more than a year ago now, my Cooper used to shock me a lot, my new S doesn't. The Cooper had full leather, the S half leather seats, but I can't see that would make THAT much difference.


Here's an older, bigger conversation on the subject: http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...light=shocking a search for static and also shock* should bring more results, and maybe a cure?

Same shoes / Weather conditions
Different Paint / Wheels.
I found that if you make a Quick Deliberate Grab at the door Handle any Shock would be Less than that if Nervously Touching it awaiting for the Inevitable Shock.
Give this technique a try or Simply buy an MCS.
