Don't know if the A610 is different, but it doesn't look like the adjuster on my GTA. Looks a bit similar but the GTA tensioner has a threaded block that the bolt screws in and out to adjust the tension.

Its two threaded blocks i've got but one is left hand thread and the other is right handed.Is this how it should be?

Yes, it does have a left and right handed threads and so doubly quickly for small amounts of turn increment. Wouldn't David Gentleman have a reasonable second hand one laying around?

Maybe it will be a shock to us all and be at a reasonable price new from the dealer. Nah.

It is much better to spend your money on cars rather than mundane things like washing machine repairs, clothes and christmas presents.
