When I get near the wheel well on the passenger side I hear a THISK sound every second, just started happening. Not a clunk or rattle or a tick but a THiSK sound .

I think it may be my belt tentioner pulley because when I flicked it it sounded worn out. Hopefully that's the sound,

sounds like its coming from that Area.
Just changed my belt and idler pulley 2km ago.

Any ideas would be great ,

Bad bearing in an idler, or a spot on the serpentine belt. That's my guess based on the description.

Think my best bet is to change tensioner as well as a better belt , thinking dayco

The belt is a good place to spend to make sure you have quality.
You can always chuck the other belt in the back as a spare.
Just having a spare will ensure that you won't need it.
