    Yeah, espresso grind should be fine for this. Maybe follow the process here:

    especially with regard to preheating the water.

    Does the pre-heating make that much of a difference ?

    Can never seem to get a consistent coffee using the Moka pot, wasn't sure if its the grind I was using or the technique

    Pre-heating helps stop the beans cooking out while the water's coming up to temperature. It will make a difference. The biggest thing is freshly ground coffee after that and making sure you keep your dose consistent.
