Okay, next, Pressure cap on the header tank, if it's not holding a pressure the coolant will boil up.
Not a petrol - these engines should never need the idea of a "pressurized" cooling system to raise the boiling point of water...
If that's happening, it's already overheated.
Check the plumbing - sounds to me like typical restriction somewhere or easy route - i.e. there's a path where the water can easily route rather than go around the radiator...
The two thermostats are NOT helping - look back to the whole "bypassing the heatermatrix" post I did - that'll explain why.
