Currently de-fraging the PC, trouble is, it's took 3/4 hour to go on 1%

Then it goes back to 0%, then 1%, 2% then 0% etc etc.

Whats up with it?

yup, like said, just leave it and it'll sort itself out
But personally i would get perfect disk (a bit better as it offers bootup defrag of page files etc), or diskeeper - both good defrag programs compared to the windows crap heap defrag

The longest ive ever had to defrag was 20 mins with disk keeper, it has so many little features you can make your hard drive really really tidy
