the tensioners werent faulty.... just a tad temprimental lol
you could be looking at expensive head rebuild, or just a new belt and a few valves. you wont know of damage until heads of - no quick fix btw.
replace rollers with metal ones and get em replaced everytime timing belt is done. it was more than likely plastic tensioners u had on. cheap skate vauxhall!
