Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Whilst driving my mondeo it started to judder as if in the wrong gear, on checking the engine noticed that the radiator bottle was now empty so refilled also on starting had white smoke & one of the plugs had oil on it so put new ones in since doing this the car continously shakes & smells of petrol. I have been told that it is the head gasket that has gone although there is no white residue on the oil cap plus the water in the radiator is clear PLEASE HELP thankyou

A block test will just tell you if the head gasket is gone and should cost next to nothing. Also known as a sniff test.
Not sure what it would cost to fix if it is the problem
