Okay might aswell post this one on the Leon section instead of the Toledo section cause it seems deserted out there. 
So suddenly yesterday, I have an "out-of-the-blue" problem. What I meant by that is I didn't fiddled with anything for the last few weeks before this problem happened.
On one afternoon, I was about to start the car. Alrighty, I inserted the key ignition, 1...2...
-I first noticed: the 12V Ciggy Light doesn't comes up (I have my MP3 Modulator inserted, so I know if it's working or not too)*
Hmm, then I just went on starting the engine. My MP3 Modulator still not powered up, now that's a little weird. I thought it would be just the fuse of my MP3 Modulator, checked it and it was all fine. Alrighty, I checked the fusebox.. and actually checked the whole fuse! (Engine off though).
Then I thought, "Ah, I can live without my MP3 Modulator" .. My radio's still working though!
So I restarted the engine again.. I fired up the A/C.. to #4, (#4 setting?) then there's no air coming out from my vents? I can hear the compressor running, but to the hell of it I just checked the 30A fuse on top of the battery. It was still intact and not burnt or anything.
Re-fitted it, and the blower is still not there. I have to mention the #4 setting goes back to #0 and restarts again, in a loop if I leave it.. without any of the air coming out from the vent.
I'm getting frustrated. Certainly something wrong with the electrical components of the car (And my date's like 1 hour away!) .. Then something came into my head to ask me switching on the Dipped/Fog Beams. Guess what? .... NOTHING. just the parking lights are turned on.
I spent a good time observing around the engine bay to look for anything weird or burnt marks anywhere, or anything unusual.. but I only noticed the 110A on top of the battery has a burnt mark. The wire's pretty hot too.

Before the above problem happened, I knew I felt something weird when I drove down my local highway cruising at 160km/h.. I suddenly saw my dash lights flicked and the car juddered slightly but it was noticable, but nothing bad happened. My A/C, Lights, etc was working fine.
Just that yesterday, and today (I tried again) the problem is still there. I cleaned the 110A contact on the top of the battery fuse box and still no shed of light at all.
Now I don't even dare to drive the car. Front lamps aren't working at all (Even rear brake fogs doesn't work, but the license light and etc does work fine though). I might even scare that the gearbox might crap out while I'm driving knowing I have an electrical problem.
Car is: 1M 01' Seat Toledo 1.8 20V (Non Turbo) AGN Engine, Automatic Gearbox.
Few things worth mentioning:
- Been using years, Dipped/Fog HID Beams without any problem.
- Full LED Interiors
- MP3 Modulator in the 12V Cig Light Socket been used for years without any problem.
- I should say I've installed an Earth Grounding kit, used the seatcupra.net guide in installing it.
Could it be any of the above could affected the electrical system? Hope my post made sense. I really need this car to be ready for my Hari Raya festive season here in the country, and that's like 22th/23th of next month.
I'm thinking my Alternator/Battery is about to go, thoughts?
