Just make sure they need replacing could just be doing it for the sake of it and noise is still there. Sounds like it could be the standard diesel chatter down low which is common in diesels especially with a big gearbox, yotas will do it too. Does it sound like a groaning noise when lugging near idle and low revs?

When I hit bumps when out wheeling, something in the front left of the engine bay thumps down and you can really feel it! Also, when I switch the engine off, there is quite a shudder.

Maybe an engine mount Jacko mate but worth giving the front left guard/body a quick yoink up and down to eliminate a body<>chassis mount maybe worn, worth a quick try?

Just get underneath with a pry bar and see what moves. You'll also be able to see if the engine mount is cracked just by looking at the rubber

New engine mounts good move, have a look at the current ones, check that they are bolted up securely and as previously stated, lever off the chassis and look for movement..Check other rubbers /bushes while having fun.
Stiff mounts may not good as mentioned, I put a 4 cyl diesel in SWB cruiser (replaced the much longer 6 cyl petrol), utilized existing chassis mount points (increased moment) used stiffer mounts and got excessive vibration thru veh and repeatable broke the alternator belt tension bracket. IMO, Use OEM build engine mounts.
