I think that's totally DIYable, if you can find the parts. :)

I'd guess that one of the tilt latches wasn't fully engaged and the wind twisted the sash slightly and popped the other. If the tilt latches are worn, maybe replace them whist your at it.
The tilt restrictors are meant to support the window whist its open for cleaning, not catch it. Technically, you don't need them if you can support the window whist it's tilted in.
Here's a starter link for you.

Came home the other day and this riveted metal strip that holds a upvc sash between between the window frame and box frame had snapped off as the window had blown open. Googling it now and looking at people to repair it where I live but is this a DIYable job if I can get the right size bits from say B&Q?
Thanks very much!
