You should be getting close to 11 v at the starter so 2000w would mean 180A (just a rough estimate. Actually, moronically they probably rate for 12v even though that theoretical value is not likely.

thanks for another response, well midday was at an autoelectrician who called my starter a sleepy one, "bring me another one I will swap it out" I asked if he could recon existing,he said yes, but am in two minds about doing a recon of existing one as surely replacing it altogether eliminates risk of him maybe using substandard parts/and or forgetting something during reconditioning old one....plus the current denso 2.0kw rated one better replaced with a 2.2kw ?even if the newer one ain't quite up to the standard of the denso (which going by the service it gave me ain't that good anyway). This herth+buss brand is a pretty new german registered firm for alternative car parts for european and japanese cars, i believe parts made in china. Debate about Chinese products is a whole new ball game for another day.
