   do you have remote central locking? if you don't the only way to lock the door will be with the key from the outside. If you do have rcl, they will lock and unlock with the fob like they used to

   They will work exactly how they do with them in. As long as you do it correctly.
   There is a knack to it. Just be careful not to break anything.
   Feel down the rod that attaches to the pin and you've got to full the plastic clip at the bottom towards you so that it comes off the top of the lock mechanism

   when you say "work the same" it will still lock, but obviously the only way of locking the doors from inside the car would be to do the window down and lock it with the keys!
   
   Imo i wouldn't de-pin a saxo without central locking. Makes it really difficult as you would have to keep walking around the car to lock and unlock both doors.

    You would only need to close the passenger door when you had a passenger though not probably not every time.

    i am planning on filling mine, instead of a grommet, with a dash repair kit, but waiting to find it cheaper than halfords 25 quid

    I've always used the round grommets you get in halfords (assortment packs). They form the shape of the hole perfectly.
