Why would a Seat Toledo 16v brake lights work only when the lights are not on?

Answer Poor earth.

This sounds like a bad earth. There will probably be a wire going to ground through a bolt near the rear lamp cluster, on both sides probably. You need to make sure these are on, clean and tight. Remove any dirt/paint/rust etc and refit with a smear of vaseline.
