Thanks.
Looks like a temp fix. After switching off, and on again, it struggles to light up for first few seconds, before light up. I only bought the current starter about 5/6 weeks ago.

Sounds like the starter is dodgy then. What make is it? Philips and BG are good brands. My ex hardware corner shop sold cheap unbranded starters and they just didnt work at all.
Thanks for your reply.
Just got a new one but the same make as the last one. It's called 'Selector IC' or something along that line, as the logo is hard to read.
After I inserted the new one, it came back to life. Next time, when it gives me trouble I know which make to go for.
CEF WFS WILTS till sell them to order.

Are you sure about that? Why on earth would anyone want to buy one of those fittings?
Because thin coloured fluo tubes especially UV are as good as a chocolate teapot
Update. Guess what happend? that has now gone, so have to replace. Can't understand why it lasted a few weeks. The original one fitted by the housing assc, lasted for several years before it packed up, and ever since I've been replacing them every few months. I'm sick off it.
