Have you got any other electrical issues that could be caused by a dodgy earth connection?

Try fitting a rubber floor mat to the drivers footwell. The static is most likely caused by by your shoes rubbing on the carpet.

If I can touch a grounding point and not get a shock though, why would I get one from the doors? 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

My Mum gets static shocks from cars all the time, as she is 89, it looks like she is on shock therapy, it's hilarious.

If you get the shock when you've got out, hold a metal part of the door as you put your feet to the ground, the static will discharge from shoes with no pain etc. If its when you return to the car, touch the metal with your elbow, it will discharge through clothing and you wont get the shock from the handle.
