There are five items for which a torque setting is specified. One of these, the top arm bracket to RH engine mounting, requires 100 Nm. If you're going to do this job to a high standard then it makes sense to invest in a torque wrench. I own four.

... could it be possible that there's a problem with the aux tensioner itself that would cause the ticking?

It's possible, yes, but I doubt the authenticity of your mechanic's story. Another club member assured me that the pulley component is the same as the idler and can be detached for renewal. Neither that nor the complete tensioner assembly is expensive (from memory about £70).

The aux belt seems normally tight and not wobbling around not even a millimetre

But you can't see the tensioner when the engine is running and attached to its mounting, so how would you know?
