Hi, my name's Adam, I'm 19 and I'm a final year student (I've had a gap year). Every weekend I work in a famous yellow and green fast food restaurant.

I'm trying to get my driving licence so that I can use a car, but in the meantime I have to use my scooter.

However, as it's broken down, I won't be able to get to work, as I have no other means of transport.

I live in the countryside, which is why I have no other means of transport.

A month ago, I heard a noise coming from the engine of my scooter.

I didn't know what it was, so I went to see the mechanic, who told me it was nothing serious.

He changed the oil anyway and assured me that everything was fine. That happened on Thursday 23 January, and he billed me 400 euros.

But on Sunday 9 February, I heard a noise again as I was getting ready to leave for work. So I brought my scooter in today, and now he's charging me €650.
