He left it stuck on and I've been back numerous times and it still doesn't work properly, the hand brake is springy when it's not on?? Anyway, I have no faith in what he has done. How do I check the tensioner? Thanks for any help.

you need someone experienced , they will soon locate the fault from that noise !
Regarding the handbrake , That " Adjuster " was never on the car from new , It is a bodge as I have said on here many times , There is another underlying fault with the parking brake , It probably needs an overhaul with volvo shoes and springs and probably brake disks .
Your parking brake will lock the wheels on the 2nd click when it is working properly WITHOUT any extra "adjusters"
