A few more things to check:
Do you have 240v at the fitting?
Have the contacts at the endcaps opened out so as to not get good contact of the tube?
Using a multimeter set to ohms range, have you checked the ballast to see if there is continuity through it?

sparky..thats a bit above my station really re.. multimeter/ohms/continuity any other basic thing i can try P M ... dont think its the contacts there isnt a flicker from the tube or starter
