the hydraulic motor for the convertible top for my 1999 Jaguar XK8 has stopped

What is your question?

The local Jaguar dealer gave me a cost of $5300 to replace the hydraulic motor and the car is only worth $12000. The motor has stopped working at all. No sound and no top movement. Is there a way to disconnect the hydraulic motor and just operate the top manually? Or can the motor be refurbished?

What makes this problem better or worse?

motor is dead
