True A&C, my 1st one burnt out after 2 weeks. Mind you, it was (not a Skytec) a 2001 stock which had never seen a drop of oil. It was an AOG job and I got ripped off £1000 - the real price is about $450.

The Skytec starters come in different versions. The original 'lightweight' one draws a huge current - see that URL I posted. The NL version draws much less.
