I have replaced door actuators but I have been lucky because the door lock failed open.
It will be a case of cutting the side of the door from the interior to access the lock and
cutting into the lock.
I suggest searching jaguar forums for actual experience (I use google for this).
It has been done before.

The fact that it is not double locked will make it easier but as far as I know the only way
to resolve the problem is to cut through the metal side of the door and the plastic cover.
Isolate 12v supply first-easiest to remove appropriate fuse or unplug in door.
In my case the failure was caused by a small microswitch in the actuator.
It is very small, and has 3 electrical connections.
If you can cut the plastic cover and expose the microswitch without damaging the internals
then short two contacts with a screw driver and fire the open button on the remote
the lock may open or you may just blow a fuse.
I have spare locks and microswitches and can try this on the bench to decide which contacts to
short also I can supply photos of lock internals etc.
This is all assuming that the microswitch is the root cause of failure.
If not you may have to destroy the lock. Used locks are available for little money
if you don't want to buy new.
