HAVE A GO
Please, I need learn the difference between TO HAV A GO and TO TRY, like in the following examples:
A friend of mine invited me to come his house next Saturday however I currently can't know because of my work, but maybe if I free of my duties I'll be able to come, then which question is correct?
I'LL TRY TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE
I'LL HAVE A GO ON COMING TO YOUR HOUSE
Many thanks in advance

In that case (and in my point of view), the correct sentence would be the one using "I'll try". Here's why:
When you say that you'll try to come over, you're saying that you'll still make an attempt to attend;
Now when you say that you'll have a go on it, you're saying that you'll attend in order to experience it.
It's something like:
"I'll try to come to your party, but I'm not sure if I'll make it on time."
"I don't usually like parties, but I'll have a go on this one."
Hope I was clear enough.
Best regards.

In this context, I would say "I'll try to come" and I would never say "I'll have a go"
I use the expression "I'll have a go" or "I'll give it a go" for situations when I am about to try something that someone else has been attempting.
For instance, if your wife is trying to open a jar and asks for your help, you might respond "I'll have a go" or "I'll give it a go".
I hope this helps.
