Me again - any advice for top hose replacement? Is it as simple as popping off the old one and getting the new 'un on without losing too much coolant?

pretty much. you'll loose some, but its about the highest point so not too bad. It takes a fair bit of heaving and wiggling to get the header tank to move enough to get it free...just loosen the 2 bolts holding the bracket on the top of the oil tank and also good to release the jubilee clip around the tank to allow some rotation too
