Default The light wouldn't go off so I got some codes...

I know that I probably will annoy some of you because I am not a car guy I guess. I love my Land Rover I'm just not good at understanding what anything means under the hood.
So the Service Engine Soon light was on and wasn't going off even though the car was driving fine so I took it to get an OBD test done.
Here are the codes:
0308
0306
0150
0174
1415
1300


The guy in the store really didn't know anything about Land Rovers and his lack of knowledge about cars in general was really troubling to me. I mean if I know more than you, that's pretty said seeing as how you work in an auto parts store. Anyway, I'd just like to know how serious these codes are. I don't have a ton of money to put into the car right now and I'd like to know if some are more priority than others.
Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I'm working on it.

Your truck isn't "driving fine". It's a disaster of misfires.

When is the last time the plugs and wires were changed?

I'm not sure. I bought it recently from a used dealer.

Anybody can work at a autoparts store, all you need to know to work in one is how to fog a mirror and use a computer.
If its not in the computer, they do not know.
You need to do your own research.
You need a good old fashioned tune up, that means new spark plugs and spark plug wires.
You must use one of these brands of wires, Kingsborne, STI or Magnecore.
You will have to order them online, then take them to a indie shop and tell them what you want done.

Oh alright. Well thank you very much. Luckily I know a mechanic really well who is a family friend.
By the way, I love what you named your DI. I used to have a 95 white one myself.

You need to look at my sticky at the top of this section regarding doing a Major service, and boy does your's need one.
Also plan on rebuilding the front drive shaft before it fails and kills your tranny also.
