Sophos UTM and BT HSRP

Hi All,
We have two sites linked via BT routers and each site has its own UTM and fail over simple diagram below.

WAN                                         WAN
  |                                              |
Router                                     Router
  |                                               |
UTM                                         UTM
  |                                               |
Lan - Router -WAN - Router - LAN

So we have a site link and two sites with Primary/DR with fail over routers

The primary site UTM has IP : 194.72.126.66 GW : 194.72.126.65
The primary sites internet works fine

The secondary DR site UTm has IP : 194.74.139.67 GW : 194.72.126.65
I cannot get out to the internet from this UTM

BT have said there is no issue with the routers and the failover is working on the routers.   Below is the information BT have provided me concerning the IP address allocation.

I have recently taken over this position and I'm under the impression this has never worked any ideas why the second UTM at the DR site cannot get  onto the internet?

Regards

John H

194.72.126.64 255.255.255.224
194.72.126.74<<used on primary router
194.72.126.75<<used on V1 router
194.72.126.65<< HSRP standby address and the gateway for you to point to from both devices
 
194.74.139.64 255.255.255.240
194.74.139.66<<< used on primary
194.74.139.67<<used on V1
194.74.139.65<<< HSRP standby address and the gateway for you to point to from both devices

UTM's are stand alone
I believe the HSRP is only for the external WAN links not the site to site link I believe that's acting as the heartbeat
don't understand:"... and the gateway for you to point to from both devices" me either but the BT chap I spoke to was adement I needed both Gateways on the UTM's
There is one UTM at each site
how do you switch from ISP-link1 to ISP-Link2 (UTM1 to UTM2)? the routers are supposed to fail over automatically and the UTM will just need a few changes to take over so its not seemless

if you never see the IP from range "194.74.139.x" while accessing the internet, pull the cable and test with a PC/Notebook

What do you mean plug straight into the router?
