Yes still there, did this with water sensor, need ask the question, if a battery is 33% affective could this cause it?If you dont like the answers in one thread then try try again!!
Have disconnected the sensors to see if the fault code changes?
Currently reading:
Technical Short circuit to ground
Certainly sounds like time for a new battery, specially with Winter coming.

What voltage when engine running, should be around 14 Volts if alternator OK?
Its stopped again wont start, is it time to start pulling looms off?
Are you able to read any error codes etc.?
Yes all say short circuit to ground
Yes I read the original one thanks, what I meant were you able to get a recent a recent one, to see if anything had changed?
Off hand the only suggestion I can think of is to disconnect things one at a time like the DPF fluid side and the water in filter warning sensor etc. ,then delete codes and do another code read to see if it will point in a direction.
With all the "shorting to ground " error code issues and the battery having to be replaced was there any indication of a drain from the battery when you fitted the new one. Modern systems will give a small spark when connected as they reset, but an amp meter will tell you how much once the system has settled down.
Possibly if an amp meter was used it may indicate a drain when certain things are turned on, which if items were unplugged to test then refitted may point to any short circuit to ground or at least show what items do not affect it.
At the beginning you mentioned it started with the DPF fluid needing replacing, but that it still ran at that point, then you got these other error codes.
I know it's a pain, but it is a process of elimination unless you hand it to the specialists along with your wallet

Unplug affected components , clear faults , scan again......if short to ground still shows then it's a wiring fault or ecu fault. Disconnected components show other faults but that is expected, you are only interested in the short to ground for now.
If no longer short to ground showing; one of the components disconnected is causing the short to ground.
Plug one component back in , clear faults, re scan ......is short to ground back? If yes then the component just plugged in is the fault. Repeat with other sensors.

P1443 The additive pump should, if like the Peugeot /Citroen Range be at the fluid reservoir under vehicle forward of n/s/r wheel.
P0003 Diesel quantity regulator will probably be on the high pressure injector pump or the Common Rail (there may be another electrical sensor/switch/valve there which cuts of fuel depending on type of pump used)
P0245 Turbo actuator command, I am guessing on the bulkhead or the front bonnet slam panel, near the turbo with vacuum pipes connected to it.
I would check on my Scudo but it is 2010 and 2.0 litre so different.

Basically as @jackwhoo says.
If you disconnect one, delete all error codes and read again if the error code for the item you have unplugged is still the same reading as a short to earth then it would indicate the problem is not at that end of the loom with the sensor , but further along.
This isn't a cure but a process of elimination.
Do this with each sensor one at a time and note what, if any changes it makes to the error codes.
Basically it is highly unlikely that all these sensors and regulators etc have failed , but it is possible that they use a common connection, so this may help pointing in a certain direction.
The other alternative is taking the vehicle to a specialist, some are very good and a couple of hours of their time would be well worth the money, however experience shows that some will just guess at your expense whilst putting loads of parts on the vehicle.
