Any help welcome, so dont know what to do

My husbands scooter that he goes to work on is knackered. It was bought new just over a year ago, for £800, it was a 50cc V-clic. Wish we had never bothered. But he needs it to get to work. Otherwise am taking him to work. While its a system that works, he missing out on 11-15 hours of overtime because of it. Money we need to clear the debts quicker.

So heres the kanunderum.
A. Do we spend as little as pos to get as cheaper scooter as pos to get him through till crimbo, by which time we will have paid the debt and could save for a decent one, plus he may have passed his motorcycle test. (he on an L plate)

B. OR do I use the £700 in 0% purchase I have till June, (virgin so will pay this off b4 the transfer provided this is paid back before the time runs out) and get him a scooter thats a bit more, meaning I can deal with trade and the posibility it wont break down

C. OR use that and add from the 2.6k in savings we have that are there to back us up in case of emergancy such as failing to miss a mortgage payment. We both have income insurance, but in the current job climate, am worried that 12 months wouldnt be enough to get new jobs. Was thinking of adding bout 1k.

I just dont know. I dont want to be throwing good money after bad.
The will to save every money saving penny we can
