Also the bolt that holds the tensioner is loose, is that normal?

.......
  Put the spanner on the nut and turn anti-clockwise to allow belt fitment :y.

Surly it's clockwise .....  :-/ to slacken the belt enough for removal.

I'm not going outside to check though ;D

     Yes sorry clockwise :-[ ::).

  Do you mean the 2 torx bolts that hold the whole unit on or the centre nut on the pulley itself?

The bolt that hold the tensioner pulley in place seems loose, it moves back and forward.

  If that's the case it sounds like the innards have broken up so will need a new tensioner :(.
