The turbo terror is kicking up the nose of the diff under hard acceleration, and is hitting the bottom of the fuel tank. Diff mount itself is not split, and looks in good condition.

Is there any solutions for a stronger set of mounts, or polybushed for them?

Some of the mounts you can buy have the bushes positioned alternatively, some have the rubber like -- and the better ones have the rubber like | the ones with the vertical rubber are better suited to the type of movement the diff gets

The V6 will also do that Mikey. There are poly bushes available to fit into the alloy housing.

My genuine LR centre diff mount is like this -- when fitted.

Mine were orange flo flex ones. Seemed pretty stiff

Black and red I know to be stiff. Blue is also pretty stiff but not as stiff as black. The yellow are pretty soft but still harder than standard rubber. My engine tie bar bushes on my V6 Freelander were yellow. I found them a good compromise between location and noise isolation.

Engine tie bar is a good idea too. Couldn't find them on Egay though
