Aha! What affect does running both heaters on full blast have on the
problem? If this significantly improves matters I would investigate how
efficiently the radiator is getting rid of heat. May be time for a new one.
    Failing water pump bearings are known to release the metal into the
coolant. Which ends up deposited, mainly, on the inside of the radiator.
That is why Bentley recommends a flushing after this event.
