Any comeback from car dealer ?

Last week, an injector  failed,  caused cylinder No'1 to run lean and hot, and without warning has damaged the bore, piston and valves.

A failed injector would have resulted in rough running from running on 3 cylinders. Also it ought to have illuminated the EML (but I'll give you credit it might not have in this instance). So you had the warning. If it were stopped soon after the rough running, the engine wouldn't have been further damaged.

And yes, you're well out of the 6 month period in CRA2015, so I think this one is your responsibility to fix.

Bought a 2015 diesel car with average mileage (72k) from an independent dealer in April 2024 for £8,300.

My garage say the engine is totalled and needs a replacement engine.

Would I have any comeback on the selling dealer still to make a contribution to the repair costs under consumer rights ?

No harm in discussing with dealer.
