Ok found the solution.

Find this in the router.php
->where($db->quoteName(‘alias’) . ‘ = ‘ . $db->quote($db->quote($segment)));

Replace with.
->where($db->quoteName(‘alias’) . ‘ = ‘ . $db->quote($segment));

The only problem is a Joomla update will reset the router.php file and the numbers will appear again. Easy enough to fix, but something you need to be aware of.
