    Renault Scenic 1.5d engine, 100,000 miles 2005.
    I have oil in the coolant reservoir, lots of smoke changing gears, and struggling in first, second and third gears.
    Whats the most likely prognosis here?

    What would the cost be to fix the head gasket? Or is it even worth it?

    About seven or eight hundred to do a headgasket properly including timing belt and water pump.

    If your selling it as is let me know.
