Any help with pointing in the right direction will be appreciated. I'm thinking of changing the tensioner pulleys now.
Not that I noticed. Just looking from the top though, when the belts were off.

I had a similar problem on my Disco 300Tdi. After several belts, both genuine & pattern, changing the tensioner & rebuilding the air-con pump front bearing all were eventually cured by using Continental Belts. Not too sure about the Freelander engine layout, but the 300 Tdi's power steering pump is driven off the back of the belt. Continental use a ridged back and this seems to keep the noise down. For the cost of a couple of belts it's worth a try.

Try only having 1 belt on at a time as this might tell you where it's coming from. That or run it with none to make sure its not the timing belt/water pump. You can get squeeling from failed bearings so it could be any of the pulley or tensioner wheels also.
