Default trouble codes

Hello to all,ive got a huge prob with disco,need to get inspected service engine light came on,had scanned 1174,1171,1590,0174,0150,0300,0307,holly crap,replaced both front 02 sensors already clear codes,they return less then 20 miles,cleaned maf sensor with carb clean,off of course,seems like all these codes at one time is odd,leaning towards replacing MAF,any help will be appreciated.

Leave the MAF alone.
What year, how many miles on it, when was the last tune up along with plug wires?

First, the carb cleaner, which you never use on a MAF, will kill it.
The front 02 is dead which is causing you a lot of grief and your 1590 is a rough road/ABS fault code.
Check and make sure your 02 sensors connections are oil free, if they are contact whoever you bought the 02's from and get it warrantied.

Didn't you just replace that 02, if you did make sure to have them warranty it and make sure the connection is clean of oil.

You might try tightening the 2 v/c bolts, they tend to vibrate loose and leak down onto the 02 connections.
If that doesn't fix it you will need to replace the gaskets.
