Corsa 1.7D 1997 eating drive belts



Is there a knack or known problem with the alternator belts on this engine
(1.7D isuzu non turbo) ?
Seems to be eating belts,
Ive fitted 2 in the last month, i adjust by slackening off the two
alternator mounting bolts and the adjuster bolts
(doesnt seem to adjust if i dont undo the mount bolts - maybe a problem ?)

whats the correct way to adjust them ? - incidently the other belt is fine
