Thanks all for the input, and yes I probably will buy another 3TB hard drive. FYI the issue has been resolved as follows: After the 52 hrs of waiting I powered the machine down, (Keyboard not functioning during the stalled update.) I left the machine for 15 minutes, powered it back up and it went straight into the OS X update again, but this time there was a time on the update scale and it said there were 18 minutes to go, so I waited and sure enough the Yosemite update completed and all appears to be well.

That being said it’s best to give it at least 48hours, could be a bad block on the hard drive which might slow things down.
