Is there a starter? - 35p each, I'd try this first

Thought the same, done that.

So you've got switchstart fittings. Then it's wrong starters,
bad tubes or bad contacts. The capacitor can't cause this.

Corse it can.

The capacitor will be across mains in.

Can you explain, assuming the supply impedance is in the order of a
fraction of an ohm, why a capacitor can cause the perturbations in
voltage supply to cause a substantial flicker?

why bother asking, it's Rod.
