Yes, those types of diverter are a pain. You can bodge it by making a blocker ring to stop it closing out of a bit of plastic to slip under the spindle to hold it up. I did that on a similar unit that worked for some months until I got around to swapping the taps. The new unit has a diverter tap which will be far better.
