Just a quick question my belts slipping to the point my battery is draining and I just need to know if I need to turn the bolt clockwise or counter on the tensioner its in the negatives and my tools are all frozen so things are interesting to say the least lol

Yeah, you have to turn that bolt clockwise. Just make sure that you loosen the other four bolts first. And, don't forget to re-tighten them up afterwards.

IC. Yeah, for most of us, the belt tension adjustment is on the power steering pump. Next time, please mention the right hand drive, it'll cut down on confusion and get you an answer quicker. I never think of RHD XJ's unless it is mentioned, as they are not the norm for most of us.
