a new belt should be tighter, they get loose as they age and wear... if the new belt is as tight as u say it is...then u must be reading the tensioner wrong. it should straighten itself up once the engine starts running. maybe its just got a slight warp in it from being bent while sitting in storage. once the engine heat gets to it, it should correct itself.

put up some pics.

just went to holden's :) had my car checked over :) i will have a go at fixing what i was quoted on and work from there :)

he said it was weird that the car felt fine, until he put it drive or reverse,he had a good feel of engine while running and body e.t.c. very nice person to deal with.

said that he feels the whole exhaust system needs to be undone and hung perfectly straight and retightened.

and when you look through from drivers side at pulleys e.t.c looks perfect,but when you look through pulleys from passengers have a wobble so it's the water pump pulley.

so will see how i go fixing it up :)

I dare say what came up was either an error or just a history of logged faults. I dont think it would be possible to have 50 odd codes and not have the cel illuminated. Strange how they were all in very close succession to each other aswell

I think it would be impossible to have all those codes. You have every code there is apart from one or two. I suspect the scan tool or program is not compatible.
