So I managed to get it replaced. Didnt have any issues, but some tips for anyone else of alittle worried:
1) Buy Plus Gas and soak under the glow plug in the morning and the night and do that for 2 days minimum (it may have come out without but if not you would be kicking self for not doing it)
2) Undoing the spark plug: I used a 3/8 torque wrench set in the "undo" mode and set it to 9Nm, this will ensure that if it is tightger then this your wrench will stop you from going to harsh in the terms of torque/ Nm
3) Do it on a Hot engine, whilst my glow plug was.completely dead so most likely didn't glow red itself to burn of any stubborn carbon, the heat from the engine may have helped loosen things (left my car running for 45mins before doing job
4) Whilst Undoing I was using a ratchet after the initial opening with the torque wrench. But to ensure I was loosening any debris in the threads, I was undo by 3 ratchet turns and then I would re tighten 2 ratchet turns
It may all be overkill but it's better.to be safe than sorry.
