So, I now get the impression that it wasn't the "Aircraft" systems that caused the delays - Fuel & Hyd Lines, Elect distribution, Radio & Radar systems are normal issues for many repairs.
I now feel the "Role Equipment" systems that were in that area may have caused the problem by causing a greater deal of Loom replacements - and at the very same time that Airbus was paying a lot more for Electrical Connies too?
Still it should be alright now! eh?
