The aircon pulley should spin freely since it operates on a electrical clutch to engage the pulley to the compressor only when you switch on the AC.

so the fact that its not spinning freeley means?

I can't get the pulley off to look at because when i turn the nut with a ratchet the outer plate just spins and the pulley stays still and the nut spins with the plate  :-/

it did go away for a while then when i was looking at it on the drive it just made it a bit quiter, ac works great tho which makes me think its just the pulley

Personally I still think you need to change the tensioners.

The tensioner seems to spin freeley the aircon pulley doesent but it is driving a pump, there is a metal plate before the pulley which i can spin with the pulley stopped should these be a tighter fit?

Why do you think its the pulley mate?

Ok belt off and ran no noise at all, so just got to see if i can find the problem pulley, but just span the tensioner pulley and it seemed ok

Sorry car is : p reg omega 2.5 v6

Looking at it i think its related to the aux belt maybe the tensioner pulley can i just buy a pulley and bearing to replace if it is that?
