This is off the car topic but the original question did ask for any DIY jobs that saved money...
My toilet got blocked and we didnt have much money at all. Wife pregnant and off work. It was either unblock it or wait until pay day and get plumber... Well I manned up and pushed my hand down there and pushed it through...
I used to get a bit queezy gutting fish but now I rip them apart like it is nothing because that experience changed me. Saved a lot if cash though!!
You could have achieved the same result with some strong, flexible wire..
My amplifier shat itself and would not power up
being 1300km's from Perth and many options of where to get it fixed, I did the google thing and found a solution. A couple of hours research, an hour talking to the teck support at RS Australia (electronics store) I bought a new condenser (had to get a pack of 5) . Cost me the worldly sum of $2.18 including postage!!!
Just sat down with a soldering iron , removed the old one, replaced with new one , 15 mins and now I can set the sterio to stun once again!!.My wife had already picked out the new one, 
$800 saved.
Think I might have an early beer now
Anyone know how to fix those bloody cheap water blasters you get from Repco..?
They are the worst
guy in the shop said that for every ten he sells. .. Sioux come back

We were a bit older than children, late teens/mum found it amusing.
So you won't recommend throwing a 4 year old down there then... It would mostly be him filling it up
