Fluorescent light problem

I've just had a look at next doors fluorescent light in the garage.
One side of the double 6ft fitting is working. I changed the starter over and I've changed the lamps. Starters and lamps ok. No loose wires.
One side just flickers.
but, It works ok in the summer. :confused:

So, I presume it is a problem with the choke and the temperature of the fitting ?? :confused:

Can anyone help me with this one ?

rob :D

    I've checked the lampholders today and no signs of corrosion.
    The fitting is only about 2 years old and is well protected.
    I'll pick a new one up for the old fella next door.
