Common D3 failures?

What would you say are common D3 problems which can be difficult or expensive to fix, but still within scope of an experienced DIY owner? Including jobs that require special tools.

Suspension arms/bushes
Air suspension fault finding/repair
Sunroof drain tubes
Electronic park brake resetting

The list can be huge everything can go wrong and everything can be repaired or replaced.
Some people find it easy, some find it hard.

And some just make it look dificult.

Would any D3 photos be helpful for repair work?

I currently have one with body off and engine out. I still plan to put it all back together but it is an escalating job, and probably not worth the cost of workshop time.

Another D3 is due in shortly. Bought with no inspection, so I expect some problems. Worst case it will be a stock of used spares.

The photography is a hobby, so if you have any requests let me know and I will see what I can do.
