Waste on the left 40 internal, trap on the right 41mm external.

Trap doesn't fit inside waste by 1mm. Assumed it was a imperial-metric problem so I bought a new one. Same problem.

Is this a faulty waste or do i need some kind of coupler?

what is the waste from ? is it a kitchen sink? if so it may be a import and you have to use the trap they sell.

What is it you are connecting, shower base, sink, bath? Can't really tell from the pics

 

[necronaut]

It's a bath. The new and the old trap fit fine into the old bath waste...

Would say that the waste is at fault then. I would change it for a standard bath waste with overflow pipe. I don't know of ant adaptors available

Force it, it will fit.

Had same problem with supplied sink waste with new sink.

What a gigantic ball-ache

I sanded the waste and trap for about 90 mins and it fits now. FYI it's a Wirquin Quick Clac Pop up Bath Waste and i used a regular P trap, a Wirquin bath trap wouldn't have fit with the access available. Wouldn't recommend this POS. Waste of time.
