What's your issue with the door handles?
The normal one that they don't work?

The touch sensors on 2 doors report intermittent short to ground, so the car never fully goes to sleep and is always looking for the key as it thinks someone is holding the door handle. Only seems to be an issue in Winter, in the summer all the handles work properly for some reason.

Water getting in to the handles I suspect.
I got a similar issue with only half of the half of the handles working at the same time. Have you done a drain test on the car?

Would not know where to start, but I do know the current draw is not that high. If I leave the car for a week the battery is usually down around the 40% mark, although its very rarely left more than a day or two.

Like this. My battery started off like that at first and then we had a cold spell couple of months back and it killed it.

Well the car has been fine since, no issues with the battery despite several cold nights and being left for 48 hours at one point.
My D3 was today almost written off today, would have been had it not been for my reaction. Driving through town, went through a set of lights I've gone through regularly for the last 5 years, they were green of course. Noticed out the corner of my eye, a Picasso had gone through the red on my left, quick swerve to the right. I have no idea how the Picasso missed the rear quarter panel, it must of been mm's away, I was ready to hear the dreaded but nothing. As I went up the hill, looked in the mirror and another car drove round the front of the picasso as it reversed back across the stop line. The D3 maybe heavy, but it can react quickly if need be.

Time for a quick update as I have now owned the D3 for 18 months.
I bought the car at the start of December 2013 with 129K miles on it, she now has 142K miles showing. Apart from the minor issue with the air suspension at the start of my ownership the car has been trouble free. Sure she has some strange quirks, but they are not causing any issues with the actual running of the car. Recently retrofitted AMI which has at last removed the reliance for constantly burning CDs and placing them in the changer. What's next for the D3, well she is off to France for 2 weeks at the end of June and then will need to be MOT'd in July. Issues remaining. Still broken are the manifold flaps, one day I may get around to getting that sorted. The slight whine from the back of the car remains, has not got any worse or better even after having the wheel bearing replaced on that side. I know its not the tyres either, since the noise was present before replacing all four. The air recirculation flap motor under the bonnet still needs replacing, its stuck in the open position so you always get fresh air regardless of the recirculation setting.

The old girl is getting a little TLC, yesterday I replaced the pollen filter with a new Activated Charcoal one. Tomorrow I am replacing the air filter, I know its been in there quiet some time and the last time I was in the airbox in the winter it was quiet mucky. Nothing wrong with the car, just some preventative maintenance before a journey to France for 2 weeks in the car.
