The British slang phrase “have a goo” isn’t very common, but in some regional or informal contexts, “goo” can mean to have a go at something — basically, to try or attempt something.
So, “have a goo” would mean “have a try” or “give it a shot.”
For example: “I’m not sure if I can fix it, but I’ll have a goo.” = “I’ll give it a try.”
