Hi and welcome.
Word or advice really, the head gasket going could be a symptom rather than the actual problem itself. Get the rad off and flushed out and if you are in any doubt as to whether it is silted up then replace it. Check the head for cracks and warping whilst it is off and use the opportunity to change the oil and filter - have a read up on the correct way to change the oil and filter on a scoob - use the search function.
Good luck and have fun

Welcome
Dont be too depressed if your car doesnt make the 359bhp its quoted in the add, no turbocharger from a newer scoob will produce that power at .9bar, maybe 1.6bar but not .9
You are also best getting your car health checked if you think you have a hg issue, also get the belts changed by a speciallist and have a full (major) serivce carried out, this will include the diffs, gearbox, engine, coolant, spark plugs (and belts), but it wont be cheap so take note you may need 7-800 quid on one side for it (dont not do it, you will either find you have issues or you dont, rather get them out of the way now than when something expensive breaks
)

If your worried about head gasket then best off just doing i sniff test on it at least then you know if it has gone or not. Any local garage can do that for you. Then if you can eliminate that you can start looking at other things or know for definite that you need to change gasket.
