Glad you are feeling better about the car.
Dont let your life slip away looking after the oldies, think its great you are doing what you are for them. As an oldie myself been through that with our mums and dad.
I dont want to sound like an agony aunt just that I've been there done that and at my age its not too bad. However you cant ever get time back, and its for driving ZS's having fun and all the good things in life.
My derv has the same symptoms as yours by the sound of it, If I belt it and miss a gear the clutch will slip. So bad, I priced up for a replacement, but if I drive it carefully, the slip goes and after a bit you can floor it and alls OK.
When I had my last remapped the guy said the first map I had done had taken off the limiter on the torque in first and second, said it could have done the box or clutch in. So dont know if that was something to do with it, not had it slip since Reidy remapped it.
Hope all your mods go well.
PoL this year????
