Hi, Your Problem is a problem many will have. What happens is that the lubricant drys out and causes the creeking and juddering you are now getting.
What you need to do is this.
1,Power the mirrors in then power them back out.
2,With both hands take a firm grip of either side mirror.
3,Gently but firmly push the mirror housing forward towards the front of the car,It wont want to go at first,you will hear a loudish click and then it will go forward.You will now think you have broken it but dont worry you havent.
4,Now with the mirror swinging lose between fully extended and fully forward towards the front of the car, gently work back and forth 6 -7 times then gently click back into position.
5,Repeat actions for other side mirror and this should cure your problem. If not repeat again but this time squirt in some silicone lubricant. Mines be fine ever since now about a year.
This is out of the landrover bulitin on this problem

Push the complete mirror housing forwards, towards the the front of your FL2

Sorry if you think I am labouring the point but just to make sure. Do you mean push both sides of the mirror housing forward beyond the normal open position i.e. not using its hinge? Why I ask is that I have tried to cure my passenger side creaking by swinging the housing forward on its hinge beyond the normal open position but have failed to cure the problem. Maybe the gears inside are worn. 2007 TD4 SE Manual

If you push the complete housing forward you can just see the mechanism to lube it, WD40 worked for me.

Her Ladyship's juddered a lot after a long road trip to Spain last year. Initially the LR dealer lubricated the mechanism however the problem reoccurred with a month. Next time they said that LR had authorized a replacement as the motors had worn out after only 8 months. This was an expensive warranty job as they had to respray the whole of the new mirror body and arms to match those specially supplied on the limited edition "Newport" model here in Switzerland. To see how they differ from the standard mirrors look at the image in my gallery.

So if spraying with silicone lubricant, or a dealer fix doesn't work, and your FL2's with warranty then press the case for new units. Maybe Alex can find a TOPix technical release on this.

He is in a 2007 model Athelstan, so he may well be out of LR Warranty. Mine have started doing it this week but it can wait untill its first service.

To put this in perspective, both the mirror glasses of the wife's Astra fell off last week. Seems the glue doesn't like the sun! And WD40 is no help at all

The TOPIx information is under SSM 40566 and SSM 43355. Unless you subscribe to TOPIx you won't be able to open the documents up, unfortunately.

I made a list of all the TOPIx bulletin numbers in a Word document for reference. Feel free to download and print it off.

That presents a very useful overview in one Russben - thanks. I'm always searching for data on the adaptive headlights, or in her Ladyship's case adaptive non-adaptive depending on how they feel like working at any given moment. Usually they don't adapt.

Regarding TOPIX documents, try feeding the bulletin number off the list into Google. I just did this for one of the items on Russben's list and the text came up straight away! No need to subscribe. May not be true for all of them of course.

To all of you who have wing mirror judder, have a look at my earlier post on it. there is a LR bullitin explaining how to correct it

And if you are hesitant to do what superspark said, here's the bulletin that says the same thing:
SSM43355 - Exterior mirrors Judder on power fold operation

The other SSM is about the functionality of the mirrors, clarifying some aspects about how they work.

Got fed up with squeaking mirror, pry open the cover & dump it with WD 40. Will monitor whether it solve the issue or only temporary solution. Pictures showing lubricate location.
