now doing final runs to stack on my bathroom refit - it will be far easier to join my basin waste into my shower waste (2 " pipe) - have an anti - vac trap for the basin - just wondered how likely it is that this configuration could cause problems later on - any advice appreciated. I can have seperate runs to the stack but unless there is a big advantage to doing so I'd rather join them.

Are you sure it is 2" 
If it is 1 1/2" cut the pipe and connect in a "T" , connect the shower pipe waste straight through then use 1 1/2" to 1 1/4" reducer to connect the basin waste to it.
Personally I would use solvent weld for this

sorry - should have made it clearer - my shower waste is in 50mm (apart from a small length of 40mm from trap) - my basin starts in 32mm and then goes up to 40mm - this would connect to the 50mm using a T on the way back to the stack.

why not leave the basin at 32mm and connect to your 50mm.
Sounds good to me
Might be a bit cheaper if you can put the T in the 40mm and run the 32mm into that 2" fittings are a bit more expensive
But if you have already run the pipes then go with the 2" stuff
sounds a bit excessive to me but hey it should never block up

Sounds to me like you've got it spot on - this is how I'd do it
