These can be looked up here - http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Fault_Codes

From that lot I'd think about checking your coolant temp sensor, check inside the coolant tank, there are two prongs in there which are prone to getting dirty - clean with a stiff brush or scrape any crud off with a screwdriver. If that doesn't help then change the coolant temp sensor itself (guides on here if you search).

I'd reckon the battery might be a bit low on charge too based on the second code - if you have a multimeter or can borrow one then check the battery voltage. I'd just be tempted to clear the codes, go for a long drive and see if any reappear.

Does the car feel any different to normal? How long have you had the car? If this is the first time you've scanned it then there's no real way of knowing how long the codes have been there, could have been from a problem that was fixed ages ago.
