I can't believe no one here has done this.

I can't believe you posted this!  Thought you were kidding.

They're self adjusting Phil.  What happens is in time the tensioner gets tired and loses its spring and needs to be replaced.
If you've reinstalled the belt correctly (and I'm sure you have) and you have a bit of fluttering then you need to get a new tensioner.
Btw - the replacement one I got last June looks a bit different but works fine.
