One of many I'd imagine.
This worked for a client of mine after his l322 ate its battery power and was deadlocked!!!
Jacked up the front left wheel and removed all and I say all the bloody screws from the inner wing plastic shield.
Just behind the shock strut there is the alternator.
I clamped a wire to the live/positive on the jump pack and earthed the negative to a bracket under the arch.
The live wire I touched onto the alternator output and flicked the switch. It gave us enough power to unlock his l322 and proceed to jump it off in the correct manner.
Winner!! :D
P. S. This worked on the early 3.0d version.
 
I had exactly the same problem with my crappy X5.
I have decided to pre-empt the problem occurring with my Range, so I have installed an exterior "marine grade" 12 volt port which can be back fed with 12 volts to at least provide enough voltage to open the doors. I did this after finding a dodgy connection to my battery which caused me a few problems.
